Georgy Porgy
Cat: STIX 063. Rel: 05 Feb 25
Georgy Porgy (English version)
Georgy Porgy (French version)
Review: Cover songs can sometimes be difficult to tackle for an artist and even more so if it's a completely different genre. However, lending a fresh reggae twist to Toto's classic hit makes for a a great example of a successful one here. On side one, the English version of 'Georgy Porgy' features a laid-back, smooth reggae rhythm, with the iconic guitar hook reimagined as a reggae riff, giving the song a relaxed while still infectious vibe. Ethel Lindsey's soothing vocals blend seamlessly with the rhythm section, making this rendition feel both familiar and unique. On side two, the French version offers a delightful variation, with Ethel Lindsey's vocals taking on a slightly different tone, fitting the language while adding an extra layer of charm. The reggae influences remain strong and the song's laidback vibe is preserved on both versions.

Ring My Bell
Cat: PLA 04. Rel: 03 Feb 25
Blood Sisters - "Ring My Bell" (4:01)
One Blood - "Ring My Dub" (4:13)
Review: Anita Ward's 'Ring My Bell' was itself a restir of an intended teenybopper hit. However, it found much better palatability as a disco number, saved for later and unveiled at the right time. Now, again, the original Frederick Knight penning hears an instrumental vivifying, but this time it assumes reissued dub reggae form under the 2002 aegis of the Blood Sisters, the three of whom duly vampirise the song, resurrecting it in a compellingly plodding take. Very little about The Blood Sisters is known; and this shapeshifting mystique is only compounded by the fact that this record and its dub version were produced by the much more prominent band One Blood, suggesting an offshoot project of a mystical nature. The track was also included in the game GTA: San Andreas; probably a keystone moment in its proliferation as a well-known and popular rendition.

I Just Want To Be Free
Cat: PLA 05. Rel: 03 Feb 25
I Just Want To Be Free (3:49)
Dub To Be Free (3:34)
Review: A crucial 12" version of Karen Dixon's sweetly innocent version of the insta-clock-it, insta-cop-it classic, 'I Just Want To Be Free' by Deniece Williams. Sung and rendered in a new lovers' rock style, and sifted from the Neville King archive for license on 7" press, this one comes with a brand new instrumental dub version on the flip. This one's not a mere vocal scrubbing either, as it amounts to a full heavyweight reshake; the overall feel is muted, allowing for extra reams of bass to riffle systems underneath.

Just Can't Get Enough
Junior Dell & The D-lites - "Just Can't Get Enough" (3:21)
Prince Alphonso & The Fever - "The Prince Of Port Antonio" (2:52)
Review: There are few better combos in reggae than Junior Dell & The D-Lites and Prince Alphonso & The Fever, and they are mainstays of the Original Gravity label. this endless treasure trove of timeless sounds turns up another fine double sider here in which Junior Dell's soulful vocals shine over The D-Lites' rich, vintage ska rhythms and rolling groove 'Just Can't Get Enough'. On the flip side, 'The Prince of Port Antonio' is a lively instrumental blending jazz-infused brass with a deep reggae swing. Both tracks nod to classic Jamaican sounds while keeping things fresh.

Meditation (3:28)
Meditation Dub (3:27)
Meditation Dubplate (mix 1) (3:28)
Meditation Dubplate (mix 2) (3:28)
Review: Originally released on a Partial 10" in 2019, 'Mediation' became a staple in the underground roots and dub sound system scene and got heavy plays from the late Jah Shaka and others. This 12" includes the original vocal and dub versions along with two previously unreleased dubplate cuts. Eva Keyes, a rising artist from Limerick, Ireland, brings a distinctive and powerful voice, reminiscent of Sinead O'Connor and Dolores O'Riordan. This one has deep roots but offers a fresh take on classic sounds.

Chant Down Babylon (3:43)
Chant Down Babylon (dub version) (4:19)
Review: Joseph Lalibela's collaboration with Vibronics and the Mafia & Fluxy Band delivers a powerful fusion of roots reggae and dub. Lalibela's vocals, rich and commanding, blend seamlessly with Vibronics' immersive production, while the rhythm section from the Mafia & Fluxy Band keeps the track grounded with a steady, hypnotic bassline. The track's balance between deep, atmospheric soundscapes and spiritual lyricism creates a captivating experience, offering listeners both groove and message in equal measure. This is a must for those who appreciate the timelessness of reggae and the expansive nature of dub.

We Can Make It Work
Cat: PLA 06. Rel: 03 Feb 25
We Can Make It Work (4:02)
We Can Make It (dub) (3:14)
Review: Jennifer Lara delivered a rather oblique reggae record in the form of 'We Can Make It Work' in 1980 for Uptempo Records, who've today repressed and redelivered it to fresh ears. The Studio One maverick was a mammoth 7" releaser, but few of her records fell happily afoul of the flukily muted vocals heard on this one, which sound to serve Lara's voice in the manner of a wooing, gothic castle-haunting ghost. The subject matter of resuscitating a lost romantic cause helps in this regard: with offbeat bass bubbles and pitch-warped chords, the whole track feels haunted but still jocular, as if the singer-subject remains fixated on something largely dead, but still, on the off chance, revivable.

Cat: DH 815. Rel: 03 Feb 25
Life Is A Moment In Space (6:21)
Ain't No Me Without You (6:16)
Review: Wayne Smith is a lesser-known reggae name compared to some of his peers but he sure knows how to lay down a jam. His 1982 release 'Life Is A Moment In Space' is proof of that and now gets a reissue on Black Joy. Best known for pioneering Sleng Teng, Smith delivers a captivating roots reggae interpretation of Barbra Streisand's 'Woman In Love' with the sone and his soulful vocals and deep, meditative rhythms transform the classic ballad into something entirely unique. It's the sort of tune that is always going to standout and get people locked in for the rhythms.

Don't You Cry
Cat: DKR 304. Rel: 03 Feb 25
Viceroys - "Don't You Cry" (3:42)
Sly & Robbie - "Don't You Cry" (version) (3:57)
Review: It's time to take a trip back to the legendary 1980 production era of Sly & Robbie's Taxi label. By 1980-81, Taxi's stripped-down, heavyweight drum and bass sound ruled the dubplate scene at Channel 1 and while tracks like 'Heart Made of Stone' and 'Black Uhuru's' saw official releases, others like 'Warrior' and 'Rocks and Mountains' remained elusive and only surfaced decades later. 'Don't You Cry' by The Viceroys is one such raw, haunting roots track from that time with a thunderous drum and bass version also cinder. Straight from the dub room at 29 Maxfield Avenue, this long-lost gem is another special delivery.

Bongo Pat - "You Got To Have Love" (3:02)
Bongo Pat - "Live Good" (2:53)
Review: The image of a reggae singer “floating around in the sun” is a peculiar one. Are we orbiting the sun, or are we *inside* said seething sphere? Perhaps only the Invaders crew could could keep their cool in such heat. An elusive Jamaican reggae band active from 1967 - and not to be confused with an early avatar of the band Madness - this four-year retrospective compilation spans the bulk of the Invaders’ best work between 1970-74, in which time they made some of their most brilliant records, in the estimation of label collaborators DKR. Having managed to license a portion of the band’s output for reissue (as well as their other incarnations as Splenders and Stepping Stones), and hearing anecdotes about the band from this or that person, DKR never managed to track them down directly, despite this reissue. Of course, it doesn’t help that one of the front cover images really does resemble a composite missing persons sketch! Sleuthing efforts reveal untimely deaths by members, but luckily founding Invader Delroy "Bongo Pat” Forde is still around - and as ‘Conquering Lion’ intones, “he will return as a conquering lion, and rule…". The record is seemly, tinged with gospel, and seesaws between religious tones (‘Holy Mountain’) and an instrumental, cartoon charm (‘African Safari').

Lee Crystal - "Give My Loving A Try" (2:45)
Early B - "Come" (3:23)
Little John - "Champion Lover" (3:24)
Baker B - "Cowboy MC" (3:08)
Review: Little John is a beloved and prolific 80s dancehall artist who began his career while still a child back in 1979, but by the mid-80s he had recorded for every major producer. At just 14, he launched his Romantic label and sporadically dropped what became sought-after 45s up until 1993. This compilation gathers ten of the best of them and takes in rare and overlooked gems. Featuring fresh and youthful artists alongside veterans like Frankie Paul and Early B, the tracks span heavy mid-'80s rhythms, late-80s digital sounds and early-90s uptempo beats. It's pure bliss for even hardcore collectors.
