Mr Perry I Presume Starring Lee Perry As The Upsetter


 A new collection of Lee Perry productions on CD,It ranges from remixes of classics to obscure songs never properly released.

Mr. Perry I presume kicks off with the over looked 12’ version of George Faiths ‘Don’t be afraid’. Left off the classic ‘Super 8’ LP that George Faith recorded at the Black Ark. It’s slightly rougher around the edges than most of the material on that album. There’s Perry returning to ‘Words’ – that is also featured in accapella style.

 But it’s best to let the tracks speak of a creative mind in full flow. The album comes with an unusual cover photo that was taken by the actress Nathalie Delon (then partner of actor Alain Delon) who was on a visit to the Black Ark studios in the mid 1970s. 

The sleeve notes by Jeremy Collingwood focus on the UK sound system scene that Perry had become such an integral part of. His trips to the UK were frequent and he was amongst the small group of Jamaican producers that pioneered the development of Jamaican music in the UK. 

These trips were both profitable (cutting dub plates) and useful for picking up musical ideas to take back to Jamaica. Most of the material on Mr. Perry I presume is previously unreleased. An excellent addition to the previous Lee Perry albums on Pressure Sounds. As we continue to plug the gaps of one of the most innovative producers in popular music.

Tracklist:

1.George Faith - Don't be afraid (12'mix) 05:42

2.The Gatherers - Words (previously unreleased acapella mix) 02:04

I-Roy - Don't Check Me With No Lightweight Stuff 1972-1975

 

Don't Check Me with No Lightweight Stuff (1972-1975) Review by Jo-Ann Greene

Like most Jamaican stars, I-Roy was prolific to the point of deluging the market with releases, but unlike many other artists, most of his work during the apex of his career was all of decidedly high caliber. 

A box set is desperately needed to round up the best of his work during the '70s, but as that's unlikely, Don't Check Me With No Lightweight Stuff is an excellent start. The title, incidentally, is taken from a spoken line in the intro to "Look a Boom," and is appropriate, as the set rounds up 16 heavy-hitting numbers. The collection draws exclusively from 1972-1975, the period between his breakthrough in Jamaica and his inking a deal with Virgin Records.

 Across this three-year period, I-Roy unleashed scores of singles, self-producing some while also cutting records for virtually every producer on the island. However, this is by no means a greatest-hits collection, as a number of the DJ's biggest smashes, "Black Man Time," "Monkey Fashion," and "Tripe Girl," are missing. However, you do get "Buck and the Preacher," an equal chart-buster, the seminal "Sidewalk Killer," and "Holy Satta," his Psalm-filled version of the Abyssinians' masterpiece, "Satta Massa Gana." 

One of I-Roy's many fortes was his thematic diversity, and his toasts ranged from Rasta-fired preaching inspired by the Psalms, strong societal messages, and chatty pieces on more popular concerns to sharp, rousing cuts aimed at firing up the crowds at the sound systems.

 This set showcases his versatility, his excitement at the latest black films ("Superfly" and the aforementioned "Buck and the Preacher"), keenness for literacy ("Sound Education"), condemnations of anti-social behavior ("Noisy Place" and "Hot Stuff"), and warnings to the wicked ("Double Warning" and "Hospital Trolley"). The DJ pays his respects to saxophonist Tommy McCook on "Sidewalk Killer," and offers comfort to a boxing great on the superb "Don't Get Weary Joe Frazier." Every one of the numbers boasts a superb musical accompaniment, all skillfully reworking rhythms into sizzling mixes that provide the perfect template for I-Roy's toasts. As one has come to gratefully expect from the Blood & Fire label, the album includes a sumptuous booklet, with a bio written from an interview with the late DJ, plus information on each track. By far, Don't Check Me is the best collection of the artist currently available.

The Skatalites - In the Mood for Ska -The Moonska Years - CD Edition


 In the Mood for Ska: The Moonska Years Review by Thom Jurek

Recall does its typically great double-disc reissue thing and compiles a slew of sides by the Skatalites recorded originally for the Moonska label. The most amazing thing in the long life of this band is that the quality never suffered even when the recording techniques got better. There are numerous vocalists here including Laurel Aitken, Lord Tamano, King Bravo, and Doreen Shaffer, among others. The band plays more than its fair share of instrumentals, as well, and of course, the late, great Tommy McCook was in the house.

1.Freedom Sounds

2.Eastern Standard Time

3.Four Corners

4.Bridge View

5.Simmer Down

The Wailers – Fy-Ah, Fy-Ah (The JAD Masters 1967-1970)

 

Fy-Ah Fy-Ah: The Jad Masters 1967-1970 Review by Richie Unterberger

Despite being encased in a handsome box set featuring a 16-page booklet decorated with nice graphics, the rambling liner notes and other documentation don't give a totally clear idea of when the 68 tracks on this three-CD package were recorded, or (less forgivably) a totally clear context of how they fit into Bob Marley & the Wailers' career.

 It's more important to enjoy vintage reggae than to get upset about the historical details, however, and all you really need to know is that this material was cut circa 1967-1970, mostly for JAD (though there are a half-dozen sides identified as "Wail'n'Soul'm" versions, presumably indicating recordings done for their own Wail'n'Soul'm label). Most important of all, this is really first-rate early reggae music, from a juncture in the group's career that's been too ill-documented, despite having yielded much fine work.

 While relatively few of these songs will be familiar to many Marley/Wailers fans (an early version of "Stir It Up" and "Soul Rebel" being exceptions), it could be argued that at no other time did the band strike such an even balance between early reggae, lingering American soul influences, tender love songs, and stirring social consciousness. The production is for the most part pretty clear, and always lighter and more basic than the somewhat slicker recordings through which Bob Marley & the Wailers would rise to international stardom in the 1970s. 

Sometimes there's even a mild pop touch, particularly as non-Jamaican musicians (including guitarist Eric Gale, drummer Bernard Purdie, and jazzman Hugh Masekela) play on some of the cuts.

 Too, there's a real sense of these singers being a true group, even if Marley wrote the lion's share of the tunes, as there's so much effective give-and-take vocal harmonies among the Wailers (with Rita Marley's voice frequently heard in the mix). 

There are too many quality songs to specifically cite in one or two paragraphs, but "How Many Times," "Gonna Get You," "Freedom Time," "Fire Fire," "Rocking Steady," "Hypocrites," "Can't You See," and "Mr. Chatterbox" are all among the outstanding ones. As for less expected covers, you have the Archies' "Sugar Sugar," the traditional spiritual "This Train," and pretty nice American pop-influenced tunes written by JAD's Jimmy Norman and his collaborators, while emerging Rastafarianism can be heard in "Selassie Is the Chapel." Eight "versions," less essential than the fully vocalized renditions but nice for collectors to have, fill out the CDs, the last of which ends with a demo of "One Love, True Love" and a "Dub Plate special" of "How Many Times."

Clancy Eccles - Freedom - The Anthology - Repost

 


 Clancy Eccles - Freedom: The Anthology 1967-73. Clancy Eccles was one of the major producers of rocksteady, the Jamaican music style that built on ska and soon developed into reggae. Besides being an accomplished singer and producer, Eccles had deep political beliefs in the healing power of socialism, and he practiced what he preached, lending his voice to the cause, both political and interpersonal. Eccles helped Lee "Scratch" Perry set up his studio and did everything he could to help his fellow Jamaican musicians gain prominence during the 70s. He also apparently coined the term "reggae" from the slang term "streggae," which referred to a lady of easy reputation. This anthology, released by the amazing Trojan label, is uniformly excellent

Excellent collection of Prince Buster tunes that includes such treasures as the staggering 7 Wonders Of The World, the amusing Drunkards Psalm, the brilliant Shepherd Beng wherein Buster employs a "gypsy" man to cast a spell to bring his woman back to him from the clutches of he "cousin".  The Gypsy played by one Tony King crooning a snatch of Curtis Mayfield's Gypsy Woman during the proceedings which includes some hilarious old school pre-decimal money exchanges.  It's A Fire. a cut to Buster's Java, and an instrumental cut to Buster's Sata Masa Gana, mingled with some fire and brimstone preachin' on tracks like African Affair, Black Power, Message To The Black Man and White Man's Heaven.  Essential.

Track Listing:

1. African Affair (Salam)

2. The Blues

3. 7 Wonders Of The World

4. Drunkard Psalm

Laurel Aitken - The Original Cool Jamaican Ska (Remastered) CD

 

Original Cool Jamaican Ska Review by Richie Unterberger

Something to clarify right off the bat: although Laurel Aitken was responsible for the majority of the 15 tracks issued on the 1964 LP titled Original Cool Jamaican Ska (also known as After Sunset), this 2009 CD does not have the same contents. In this case, that's a good thing, as this 29-track disc has -- in addition to all nine Aitken songs that appeared on the original Original Cool Jamaican Ska -- no less than 20 bonus cuts from the same era, most taken from the 1963-1964 singles listed in the booklet's discography. 

So it serves as a bountiful survey of the period in which Aitken was establishing himself as a major ska artist, though he'd already recorded quite a bit of material before 1963.

 The Skatalites back Aitken on many of these sides, most of which were written by the singer. While much of them are merry rhythmic odes to romance and good times, there are also hints of the declarations of independence and spirituality that would inform much later reggae music, especially in "Freedom Train," "Zion City Wall," "Let My People Go," and "One More River to Cross." Aitken might not have been the greatest of ska singers, and his songwriting not the most diverse that the style's major talents had to offer. But he was among the most consistent of the genre's figureheads, and occasionally he did depart from an approach that could verge on the formulaic, getting into more soul-oriented balladry on "You Left Me Standing" and particularly rousing group vocal interplay on "Jericho.

" The liner notes aren't perfect, but give a great deal more detail about the material than many a reggae reissue, including a discography of his Island/Rio/Columbia/R&B/Decca recordings in 1963 and 1964.

Tracklist:

1.Fire

2.Freedom Train

3.Peace Perfect Peace

4.Bad Minded Woman

5.Devil Or Angel

Various - By Special Request -Repost 2024

 

Principally recorded at Treasure Isle. Kingston, Jamaica. 
Includes liner by Digitally remastered by Toby Mountain (Northeastern Digital, Southborough, Massachusetts). The rocksteady era was a magical time in the history of reggae music. 

The jazzy, galloping ska backbeat was ceding place to a slower, more elastic groove, and singing styles were mellowing out as well; the vinegary trio harmonies of groups like the Wailers and the Ethiopians gradually gave way to the smoother, more soul-influenced sounds of the Techniques and the Melodians.

 The music of this period was, paradoxically, both more spiritual and more sensual than the music that came before, without the ganja-infused mysticism that would come to dominate the music later on. This collection, yet another in a long and fruitful string of collaborations between the American Heartbeat label and Duke Reid's Treasure Isle, brings together 18 gems from the period, including classic tracks by John Holt ("I See Your Face"), Justin Hinds ("Time Pass By"), and Phyllis Dillon ("Take My Heart"), as well as a couple of less noteworthy efforts (such as the Sensations' mediocre "Baby Love").

 Overall, this is an excellent overview of a sometimes-neglected chapter in reggae history. ~ Rick Anderson Techniques/John Holt/Sensation Dennis Alcapone/Jamaicans/Vict Chris Wilson. Producer: Duke Reid. 

Compilation producer: Chris Wilson. Personnel: Lyn Taitt, Hux Brown, Ranny "Bop" Williams (guitar); Danny Simpson, Herman Marquis, Karl Bryan, Lennox Brown, Tommy McCook (saxophone); Johnny Moore Band, Baba Brooks, Bobby Ellis (trumpet); Vin Gordon (trombone); Gladstone Anderson, Aubrey Adams (piano); Neville Hinds, Winston Wright (organ); Hugh Malcolm, Arkland "Drumbago" Parks, Winston Grennan, Esmond Jarrett (drums). Liner Note Author: Chris Wilson. Recording information: Dynamic Studio, Kingston, Jamaica; Treasure Isle Studio, Kingston, Jamaica. The Wire (2/02, p.65) - "...A well judged mix of familiar and rare tunes..."

Delroy Wilson -Better Must Come -The Anthology - Repost 2024

 

Delroy Wilson began his singing career as a teenager at Clement Dodd's Studio One (where seemingly everyone in the Jamaican music business appears to have started out), eventually working with nearly every producer on the island, including Sonia Pottinger, Joe Gibbs, Winston "Niney" Holness, Keith Hudson, Leslie Kong, and Bunny Lee. As he matured, Wilson's voice rounded into a hoarse, smoky tenor that was as soulful a vehicle as Jamaica ever produced, and although he isn't as well known as later singers like Dennis Brown and Gregory Isaacs, his approach and phrasing influenced them all, even Bob Marley. 

This two-disc, 50-track collection covers Wilson's rocksteady era, from 1968 to 1978, and while it doesn't include early sides like his cover of the Tams' "Dancing Mood," it features a solid representation of what was clearly his peak period, especially his work with Bunny Lee, which spawned such classics as "Better Must Come," "Cool Operator," and "Here Come the Heartaches." Also worth noting here are the tracks Wilson cut with Keith Hudson, including the odd "Adisababa" (a repatriation anthem based on the melody of "House of the Rising Sun"). "False Rasta" (sometimes known as "Rascal Man"), produced by Niney, is another high point, as is Wilson's fantastic cover of Marley's "I'm Still Waiting," produced by Lloyd Charmers. 

Wilson was fascinated by Motown (as was most of Jamaica), and he recorded several of the label's songs, including the subtle redefinitions of "The Same Old Song," "Ain't That Peculiar," "This Old Heart of Mine," "Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever," "Get Ready," and "Baby Don't You Do It" (which Wilson retitled "Can You Remember") that are included here. Sort of Jamaica's Marvin Gaye (or perhaps Al Green), Wilson was pivotal in moving the island's music toward its brilliant, skewed, upside-down version of American soul, and his warm, assured phrasing is the equal of any Motown or Stax star. This compilation, concentrating as it does on the singer's best years, is darn near indispensable in assessing his considerable talent.

Links And Friends - More Rock Steady (Rocka Shacka)

 

Jamaica’s rare rock steady label “Links” was running for almost 2 years between 1967 to 1968.

 The “Links” label is very sough after with collectors & selectors especially with tracks like Ken Boothe’s “Can’t You See”, The Gaylads “Looking For A Girl” and ‘Mama Look” to name a few. The founder of the “Links” label Mr BB Seaton and original member of The Gaylads are one of the most important groups during the Ska and Rock Steady era. 

BB Seaton explains how the “Links” label came about at a time where artists could not earn fair payment from producers for their recordings. The Gaylads with Ken Boothe, The Melodians and Delroy Wilson joined forces and decided to control their own recordings from the exploitation of the producers. 

The four artists came together to manage and control the “Links” label to obtain all rights and share their profits. 

BB Seaton was the back bone in writing the songs and managing the productions/arrangements whilst the other artists gave all their talent to singing the tracks to their best performance. The tracks recorded for the “Links” label are prime examples of the finest rock steady music to come out of Jamaica ! The “Links” label was short run which sadly demised after 2 years due to unfortunate circumstances (all is revealed in Brian Keyo’s great liner notes!). 

This is the first album which compiles the “Links” .


Tracklist : 

The Gaylads–Let's Fall In Love

Ken Boothe–Can't You See

The Melodians–Sweet Rose

Delroy Wilson–Give Love A Try

Ken Boothe–I Remember Someone

The Conscious Minds–Something New

The Gaylads–Mama Look

Delroy Wilson–Soul Resolution AKA I'll Never Hurt You

The Gaylads–Looking For A Girl

The Gaylads–Aren't You The Guy

The Melodians–It Comes & Goes

Randall Thaxter–mall World

Dandy Livingstone - Rock Steady With Dandy 'Deluxe Edition''

 

By 1967, the Jamaican music industry in the UK was flourishing, its success primarily due to the efforts of a number of talented British-based singers, songwriters and producers, chief among them being the young multi-talented music maker Robert Thompson AKA Dandy.

Having first achieved notable success in 1964, partnering Tito Simon on a series of ska singles as Sugar & Dandy, Thompson subsequently made his mark as a solo performer, cutting singles for Emil Shalit’s Melodisc Records before commencing a hugely productive relationship with Rita & Benny King’s R&B Records.

Of his earliest work for the Kings were two of the most enduring rock steady tracks of the era, ‘Rudy, A Message To You’ and ‘Let’s Do Rock Steady’ – later covered by Two- Tone hitmakers, The Specials and The Bodysnatchers, respectively.

Thompson’s popularity on the UK Jamaican music scene resulted in the release of his popular debut album ‘Rock Steady With Dandy’, which saw issue on the R&B subsidiary, Giant in 1967.

Now, well over half a decade later, the collection is finally made available again, with its dozen tracks bolstered by a further 33 recordings, with this 2CD set representing the very best of Dandy’s rock steady output for R&B, recorded prior to his move to Trojan Records in the summer of 68.

Jamaican ska, rocksteady & reggae singer, deejay, writter, composer and producer born 27 March 1940 in Stratton, Clarendon, Jamaica.

He started with Prince Buster then in 1968 he joined his brother-in-law Bunny Lee. He set up his own labels Hop Records, Wizard (19) and "Morgan".

Rocking On The G.G. Beat (1970-1971)

 


Among the new wave of record producers who commenced their careers at the tail end of the 1960s, Alvin ‘GG’ Ranglin. Alvin scored numerous Jamaican hits yet remains one of the most under-rated and over-looked Kingston-based music makers of the 20th Century. At the start of the 1970s, he cemented his reputation as one of the most popular reggae producers of his generation, expanding his roster to include some of the finest talents on the island, their number including The Ethiopians, Cynthia Richards, Charlie Ace, and The Slickers, as well as long-term stalwarts, The Maytones. This 2CD collection, the second in a series of sets showcasing the very best of Ranglin’s productions from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s, demonstrates the high quality of his output during one of the most fascinating periods in the development of reggae music.
