DUB / INSTRUMENTAL

The album 'Channelling Lee Scratch Perry' is a tribute from Scratch’s son, Omar Perry, to his father. ‘Scratch’ was, beyond question, a genuine genius responsible for creating some of the greatest, most complex, and thought-provoking music to ever come out of Jamaica… or anywhere else. His importance to the furtherance of Jamaican music as a producer, arranger, writer and artist is beyond compare. He played an integral role in and was the inspiration for many of the key movements in the development of reggae throughout the Sixties and Seventies.

‘What if Lee Perry and Lex Baxter have been caught in a firetrap altogether ?’ A weird experiment in dub & reggae coined in 1973, the sole album of this interstellar venture was a case in point. Jamaican rhythms (provided by the almighty Trojan records crew) with legendary prog/psych keyboardist KEN ELLIOT (former member of influential british bands such as Second Hand and Seventh Wave) creating groovy instrumental on top ! 10 tracks including the JOE MEEK classic Telstar for a space-age trip that sounds like a highly-stoned caribbean easy listening session. A truly gem on its own, incredible strange music for the suburbs!

Compiled at DJ Charjan Studio, London, UK. 180g White Vinyl.

Brought to life in 1976 on his small imprint Stars, In Dub is one of the most sought after Tappa Zukie album.
Alongside Man Ah Warrior it is a mandatory purchase for any reggae lover more akin to the spacey reverberation of the studio facilities.
With his deep, rumbling bass and the prodigious engineering of King Tubby (the album was cut at his own studio) the record still maintains his adventurous tenure.
Two extra tracks included.

The city of Bristol has undoubtedly a rich reggae heritage. The criminally neglected Talisman finally benefits of a long overdue release, collecting their first efforts plus a series of extra tracks. You’ll get their first two singles released on Recreational Records – Run Come Girl/Wicked Dem and Dole Age/Free Speech, both released in 1981 – plus a selection of five long lost contribution. Originally formed in 1977 as Revelation Rockers, a name they soon changed, Talisman were considered the top reggae act in town alongside local contemporaries Black Roots. The band – popular for their intense live shows – opened for such glorious and diverse acts as Burning Spear, The Clash and The Rolling Stones! This proper release on vinyl allows a new generation of fans to catch with their original style. Talisman certainly shows a different side of the UK reggae flourishing scene – think about Aswad, Steel Pulse and Misty In Roots – putting Bristol back on the map!
