(2xLP) ISRAEL VIBRATION - ON THE ROCK
180 Gram / Remastered
ON THE ROCK is a cornerstone of the group formed by WISS, APPLE, and SKELLY. Recorded and mixed at Leggo's Studio (Kingston, Jamaica) with the new version of Roots Radics, featuring: Flabba Holt (Bass), Dwight Pinkney (Guitar), Carl Ayton (Drums), Steve Golding (Guitar), and T-Bird Johnson (Piano).
An evolution in sound, this album sounds much heavier, much bigger. It is also much more produced, which opened the doors to international success for the group, leading to a marathon tour in Europe and the United States, and then in South America. This album includes the very powerful Rudeboy Shufflin and of course the very emblematic On The Rock, both of which are significant tracks in the group's history.

(LP) SLY & ROBBIE PRESENT GREGORY ISAACS
Very first album ever released by Sly & Robbie’s iconic TAXI label back in 1979. Having saved enough money during a tour with Peter Tosh to buy 4 multitrack recording tapes, Sly & Robbie asked Gregory to voice a few songs for them. Because they had played on so many of his hits, Gregory generously agreed to do it for free to help bootstrap the new TAXI label. In 1979, Gregory Isaacs was by far Jamaica’s most popular artist, earning his "Cool Ruler" nickname many times over releasing hit after hit, most of which were produced with Sly & Robbie, who at 25 years of age were already the hottest backing band.Out of these sessions came hits like "Soon Forward", a fabulous cover of Bob Marley’s "Slave Driver" and 4 other potent tracks. There were no flimsy soul or pop covers: Gregory Isaacs, whose voice and range were at their peak, sang with clarity, depth, verve and confidence, with no unnecessary mannerisms.A must have for any serious music fan, this crucial album features extended so-called "Discomix" versions of all the songs, providing listeners with a generous serving of the Riddim Twins drum and bass extravaganza. In addition to the original album, we have added 3 dub versions that were only released in Jamaica, as B Sides of singles, in 1979. These have never been reissued until now and provide a fascinating glimpse into Sly & Robbie's drum and bass sound, which revolutionized Reggae music at the time.

"Delroy Wilson an ambassador, a phenomenom, a legend, a brother, a household name in the Jamaican pop scene for over a decade and very well recognised on the ethnic scene internationally. What else can I say, but ask you to turn on the set and absorb another stimulating chapter of Delroy's music.In my opinion, this is another great chapter in the history of Jamaican music. Check it !"
