Reissue! Their self-titled Hellcat album was THE discovery in 2006, because for years no band has brought together what has actually belonged together since 1969: skinheads and the hard, fast reggae of the first generation! The Californians are clearly in the tradition of the original Boss Sounds, especially the organ instrumentals with Dave Barker-like vocal intermezzi refer to the guitar-heavy, super-funky groove of early Lee Perry/Upsetter. And the singing is, as I said, pure soul! It is therefore hardly surprising that the American reggae pope Chris Wilson praises the band on the backcover over the green clover - rightly so! * Pirates Press

The first new album by the Sublime follow-up band after almost two decades contains a heavy load of feel good vibrations under the sign of offbeat. The third album by the US reggae / dub / ska band, founded in 1997, which split in 2002 to reunite in 2012, brings the Californian sun ten times into the house with songs between reggae and early ska, enriched with elements from funk and jazz , Blues & rock. The retro organ and the brass sections glow, the guitar also sparkles fine, while the offbeat runs towards the sunset on this fine, very well balanced album. * Regime Music Group

Limited Edition of 750 Orange Copies

Showcasing the very best of Duke Reid's Treasure Isle late rock steady and early reggae productions, Moonlight Groover is today regarded as an essential requirement for all serious fans of late Sixties Jamaican sounds. A best seller for Trojan in 1970.

When he recorded Better Must Come in 1971, Delroy Wilson was at the height of his fame in his native Jamaica. The following year, Trojan Records issued the album in the UK, and his reputation as one of reggae's most soulful singers was secured. Listening back to this timely reissue, it's clear that the set was one of the late artist's finest collection of cuts. It was the first of his albums to be produced by Bunny Lee (he'd previously worked with Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd at Studio One) and delivered a particularly warming, soul-fired take on rocksteady that sounds every bit as impressive now as it did it 50 years ago.

Repress by Pirates Press on Red vinyl. The 2007 album by the skinhead reggae shooting stars from California, recorded right after an 8-month tour - in three days. The funky instrumentals come out of the speakers accordingly rough and unadorned, and there are more vocal tracks than ever before: Apart from various DJ interludes, the whole thing sounds like a cross between 1969s Upsetters and Hepcat from the "right on time" era. What more can you say, they are simply the band of the hour.
