JAH ALL MIGHTY 7" 45 RPM
BOND EXPORT EXCLUSIVE NEW RELEASES - NOVEMBER 2013
JAH ALL MIGHTY 7" 45 RPM
prod. by JAH LIFE
JL-020 - WINSTON HUSSEY - SETTLE EVERY POSSE
JL-021 - PATRICK COOL - SLAVE DRIVER
JL-022 - TINGA STEWART - BABYLON FALLING
all backed with SUPERSTAR MIX VERSION in classic JAH LIFE style
More killer ALL PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED mid '80s roots from Jah Life. If you liked our previous release of Flick Wilson's "Ready Fe Dem", you will love these cuts. Jah Life ran some sessions in the mid '80s at Channel 1 studio, with the then-resident Gifted Roots Band. None of the tracks from those sessions were ever released, until now! The aforementioned Flick Wilson tune came from those sessions, as do these. Three great vocal cuts on one very tough rhythm.

LIVE & LEARN 7" 45 RPM
LIVE & LEARN 7" 45 RPM
BE-028 - JUNIOR MURVIN - SUPER POWERS
BE-029 - DON CARLOS - NO TROUBLE THIS
BE-030 - JUNIOR REID - DON'T STRAY
Three more killer shots from Delroy Wright's Live & Learn label. All three were released as 7"s only in Jamaica, and like many Live & Learn JA singles, had small pressings and then vanished for good. Like all our favorite Live & Learn stuff, these exemplify the awesome "live digital" sound of mid '80s reggae that we love so much, which was the order of the day at studios like Channel 1, Music Mountain and Dynamic Sounds circa 1984. "Super Powers" is one of our favorite rhythms of this era, with awesome keyboard sounds and Murvin's perfect falsetto vocals. "No Trouble This" is classic Don Carlos, with great synthesizer sounds and syndrums. Lastly, "Don't Stray" is a lesser known cut from Junior Reid during his classic and well-loved '80s period, but only because it's so tough to find. Reid was at the top of his game from '80 to '85 and this one is no exception.

DON 1 7" 45 RPM
DON 1 7" 45 RPM
BE-025 - IMMORTALS - BABYLON
BE-026 - THE EPISODES - BLACKER THAN BLACK
Producer Danny Ffrench's DON 1 label only had a trio of releases, but all were stellar. One, the fantastic "Evil That You Do" by the male/female duo ROOTS is an undisputed classic, thankfully kept in-press for many years now, by Danny's collaborator and friend Clive Chin. All the music on the Don 1 label was recorded and mixed at the Chins' Randy's Studio 17 in the mid '70s, but none made too much of an impact at the time. But over the years collectors discovered these gems, and they became very sought after. We're proud to now make available the other two tunes on the Don 1 label. The Immortals' (note, NOT the same group who recorded for Augustus Pablo) "Babylon" is a killer slice of mid '70s roots, which was unfortunately pirated in very poor quality in recent years. Here now is a fully authorized reissue with excellent sound quality! Check out the wicked dub with wailing sirens! The other tune is the Episodes' "Blacker Than Black", a charming and youthful harmony tune with some great organ work. For us this tune really embodies the young and hopeful spirit of music-making in Kingston at the time...get in the studio and try a thing!

JAH LIFE 12" 45 RPM
JAH LIFE 12" 45 RPM
JL-011 - AL CAMPBELL - COLLIE HERB/VERSION//WORLD CRISIS (DISCOMIX)
JL-025 - RAS MICHAEL & THE SONS OF NEGUS - DO YOU KNOW/LONG TIME AGO/JESUS CHRISTUS IS THE KING (DREADLOCK)
New and long awaited releases in the Jah Life reissue program. Al Campbell's "Collie Herb" was originally issued on Jah Life 12" in US & UK, and on Kaya 7" in JA. "World Crisis" was originally issued on 12" on the Reggae Sound label in NY. Killer ganja tune and reality tune, back to back. "Collie Herb" comes equipped with dub, while "World Crisis" is a deadly discomix. The Ras Michael & The Sons of Negus 12" features the long-desired Black Ark recorded & mixed tracks that were only ever issued on the very first pressing of the classic "Love Thy Neighbour" LP originally released on the Jah Life label. The LP was then issued again shortly thereafter on the Live & Learn label (which for those who don't know, belongs to Jah Life's brother Delroy Wright), but with these tracks omitted and replaced with others. Finally reissued in all their glory on a crisp 12", these are some of the deepest roots reggae & nyabinghi tunes ever made.
