Errol Scorcher - Roach In A De Corner

Scorcher LP 1980 FLAC

Ola Kingstonians, today we have here this mighty fine early dancehall deejay LP recorded by King Tubbys. Scorcher started his career in the early 70's and according to the info from many sites on the internet he died twice: Some sites say that he was shot by police in Kingston in 1982, a detailed story, but lots of other sites say that he died in 2012 at the age of 55 in hospital from a ruptured blood vessel in his head.

Familiar riddims of the time were used on this album, such as Shank I Sheck, Bobby Babylon, and the hit "Roach In De Corner" is on the Real Rock riddim, enjoy!

Sid Bucknor - Sid's Melodic Vibes

Sid Buck Records 2024 FLAC

"Sid Bucknor has worked with all the leading studios, record labels, and artists of the time in the reggae space, such as Studio 1, Treasure Isle, Chalk Farm, Dynamic Sounds, Channel 1, Tuff Gong, and Trojan. He also worked with legendary reggae artists, including Alton Ellis, Desmond Dekker, Bob Marley & The Wailers, The Ebony Sisters, Webber Sisters, and BB Seaton. He evolved from a sound engineer to composer and producer over the years and released many of the iconic songs on his own labels JamCan, Third World and Tropical Records. Sadly much of Sid’s work has been unrecognized, and it is only now that account has been taken of his vast input to Jamaican music."

Take a listen to this wonderful new release that revives the warm vibes of 70's vintage JA music.

Lee Scratch Perry - King Perry

False Idols 2024 FLAC

"King Perry was produced by Daniel Boyle, and features guest performances from Greentea Peng, Shaun Ryder, Tricky, Marta, Rose Waite and Fifi Rong. Two tracks were also co-produced with Tricky, who releases Perry’s last recorded performances on his False Idols label. The album was born out of a request from Perry that he “wanted to do something new, something different but still with a dub framework”. And so, armed with influences as diverse as synthwave, big beat, drum & bass and electronica, Boyle and Perry traded ideas, beats and lyrics in a project that continued to grow as its various guest performers were added, resulting in a kaleidoscopic and engaging melting pot of rhythms, melodies, and voices. Poignantly, closing track ‘Goodbye’ was Perry’s last ever recorded vocal performance."
