Taking a leisurely stroll through my vinyl record collection to share a few of my favourite Jamaican tunes and trivia, just like I used to do a few years ago in the House of Reggae podcast... https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/houseofreggae
12" of Sizzla - Just One Of Those Days on VP label. Released in 2003. Produced by Bobby 'Digital' Dixon.
And finally, Bobby Digital also produced many great tunes for Sizzla. This classic from 2003 is on the Queen Majesty rhythm...

It is an extraordinary record.
Also apocryphal, according to Lee Perry he got caught by a farmer trying to 'teef' a cow... (I think the reality was just an accident)

7" of Shabba Ranks - Roots & Culture on Digital B label. Originally released in 1989. This is a later reissue. Produced by Bobby 'Digital' Dixon.
Bobby Digital also produced some of the best work by Shabba Ranks, including this great 7" on an adapted version of the Stalag rhythm...

True words!👌
7" of Garnett Silk - The Rod on Digital B label. Released in 1992. Produced by Bobby 'Digital' Dixon.
Remembering producer Bobby Digital who was born on this day in 1961.
He produced and released over 1000 records on his Digital B label from the late 80s to the 2000s.
One major highlight was his work with Garnett Silk...

Great website! 👌
One of my all time favorites! Phase One is so underrated. Terrors also cut this one on Lloyd Campbell's Spider Man label. Exists on 12" (I have one), but not on Youtube. Terrors also went by Black Terrors, and this track also called Mr. Babylon.

Also think that due to the strength of the Phase One catalogue that Assemble Not Thy Self flies under the radar quite often, but same here I love it!
Great Spider Man tune too. Love the Yellowman on it too. 👌
Sounds like a proper pilgrimage!
Thanks for sharing that. Fascinating to see it inscribed Stanley Reid.
12" 'Version' side on Phase One Records label. Released in 1978. Produced by Roy Francis.
And here's the Version side which was mixed by Errol Thompson at Joe Gibbs studio.
I couldn't find the 12" mix on Youtube, so here's the shortened 7" Version...

Definitely! 👌
Yes lots of great tunes on that label. True Born African by The Chantells is one I play a lot: youtu.be/7spHt7a9gzs
Don’t know this one, will take a listen. Phase One underrated label. This was the first one I picked up. Killer dub side too
youtu.be/jqw4SqW9V2w
Yes another great Phase One tune. They used the same rhythm for this one as well, with an even tougher dub. It makes Sly's drums explode!

12" of The Terrors - Assemble Not Thy Self on Phase One Records label in a red Phase One Records Disco Mix sleeve. Released in 1978. Produced by Roy Francis.
A Phase One Discomix 45 for #12inchtuesday
A psalm inspired gem by The Terrors who were a vocal harmony trio in the late 70s led by Donovan Brissett and his brother Edmund.
There's also some great rockers drumming on this...

I'm of the chronological leaning too so it's completely normal! 😁 Who wouldn't want all their ska records next to each other?
Aha, good luck! I hadn't realised how much it had been selling for until I looked it up on discogs recently.
I don't think so, but I don't actually know anything about it except it's a UK label.
It's the only release on this label listed on Discogs, although the catalogue number of DR 005 suggests there could be at least 4 other releases on the label, but I've never come across any others.
The Blackstones were formed by Leon Leiffer in 1974 and over 50 years later he is still leading the group.
Here they are a few years ago rehearsing an update of Babylon Trap Them and keeping the art of harmony singing alive...

7" B side of The Blackstones - Trap Them Part 2 on Derrick label. Again it is miscredited to D. Brown. Released in 1977.
And here's the deep dub version...

7" of The Blackstones - Babylon Trap Them on Derrick label. The label doesn't credit The Blackstones but instead a 'D. Brown'. After it was released in 1977 The Blackstones complained to the record label and a subsequent pressing of the 7" was credited to 'Blackstones'.
Miscredited record labels Pt. 143.
This 7" isn't by Dennis Brown, but instead it's long-running UK vocal harmony specialists The Blackstones doing a great cover version of The Meditations Babylon Trap Them in 1977...

Lots of great articles here covering all eras of Jamaican music including David Katz on Jah Shaka...

There are plenty of names in your thread that are new to me, so I've been enjoying hearing some new discoveries.
