SIR COLLINS 7" 45 RPM - PART 2

DEEPER KNOWLEDGE NEW RELEASES - NOV. 2013

SIR COLLINS 7" 45 RPM - PART 2

DKR-155 - ELIJAH - SELASSI HI/MOUNT ZION
DKR-156 - INVADERS - AFTER A STORM (BEYOND THAT DARK CLOUD)/THIS LIFE I'M LIVING
DKR-157 - DELROY WILSON - GIVE ME YOUR LOVE/VERSION






Part 2 of our Sir Collins reissue program is now here! Five more shots of monumental early roots reggae on three singles, all ultra-rare on original pressings, now on crisp 7-inch vinyl, straight from master tapes. The mysterious Elijah cut this mellow and heartfelt 2-part single for Sir Collins, then apparently disappeared from the recording scene. But the tune made quite a mark in New York, where it was released on the very rare Bronx-based WARICKA label, enough to have been covered a few years later by KC White (we also reissued his cut, still available, see here!) The tune is also remembered fondly as a New York sound system favorite in the 1970s by those active back then. It was also released on the Ackee label in the UK, memorable roots reggae for sure. Back to The Invaders, as you might now know, one of our favorite artists (see here ... and here for other available Invaders tunes!). These two songs were released on a frighteningly rare single in JA on the Invader label, while "After a Storm" was also released as a pre-release blank in the UK. The Invaders sublime and soulful harmonizing wins again, these tunes are as catchy as ever forty plus years later. Lastly, the mighty Delroy Wilson, one of Jamaica's biggest artists. "Give Me Your Love" was released on a Delroy LP again on the WARICKA label, which was mostly sold as a blank label pre-release with no cover, although copies with labels and/or a silk-screened cover also exist. This is a phenomenal cut on the mournful and heavy 'Artibella' rhythm, with a killer organ sound that we just love. This tune is backed by a dub cut with horns and bongos, lifted from an extremely rare blank-label Sir Collins compilation LP. We've heard tell that the vocal cut also comes on blank label pre-release 7-inch, but haven't seen it. Can anyone confirm? In any case this tune is one of our favorite of its era, essential to any Delroy Wilson selection. Sir Collins is still going strong in 2013 and beyond, so look out for more from the vaults!

CHANNEL 1 10" / TESFA 7" / LEGGO SOUNDS 7"

DEEPER KNOWLEDGE NEW RELEASES - OCTOBER 2013

CHANNEL 1 10" 45 RPM

DKR-120-JJ - BARRY BROWN/CLARENCE PARKS/REVOLUTIONARIES - FORWARD ON/SO JAH MEAN
DKR-121-JJ - BARRY BROWN/AL CAMPBELL - PRAISE HIM/JAH ARMY






Channel 1's lost and found series continues with two big ten-inches. Our first one features Channel 1's heavy update of the classic 'skylarking' rhythm. Barry Brown's "Forward On" originally appeared only on his classic "Far East" album. The vocal here is followed by an unreleased dub cut. The flip side is an unreleased vocal cut by Clarence Parks. This cut is followed by a different skylarking dub, which we believe to be also unreleased. While it's a bit more lo-fi and not quite as Channel 1 sounding, this was sourced from a collection of tunes originally played as dubplates by the Channel 1 sound system, another piece of Channel history. One bad ten-inch with four killer cuts. Our second ten-inch also features Barry Brown, with another unreleased vocal & dub, called "Praise Him", this time riding the same rhythm as Al Campbell's "Jah Army." The Al Campbell cut of course, is on the flip side, reissued for the first time since its original release on 12-inch on the Jedi label in the early '80s. "Jah Army" is presented as originally issued, in discomix format, vocal running into dub.





TESFA 7" 45 RPM

DKR-150 - ICHO CANDY - COOL DOWN SUFFERER



Presenting one of our favorite early '80s roots tunes by one of our favorite artists of the era. "Cool Down Sufferer" is probably Icho Candy's best tune, and it's back now on the Tesfa label, one of the main imprints of artist/producer Tesfa McDonald. Tesfa has now been active as a producer in five decades, so we pulled this gem from his back catalog, a heavy tune with cool synth sounds. It was originally released on the Tesfa label in JA on 7-inch, and on 12-inch in the UK on the Selah label.





LEGGO SOUNDS 7" 45 RPM

BE-024 - BIG YOUTH - POLITICAL CONFUSION



Big Youth's "Political Confusion" is a killer deejay version to the Jewels' "Love & Livity", which has been available from DKR for a few years now. Long overdue for re-release, a second cut to this heavy '70s roots rhythm is most welcome.

BLUE MOUNTAIN 7" 45 RPM

DIGIKILLER NEW RELEASES - JULY 2013

BLUE MOUNTAIN 7" 45 RPM

DKR-151 - NATURAL VIBES - LIFE INNA PRISON NO NICE
DKR-152 - SIXY MORRIS - ME NUH RESPONSE





DIGIKILLER returns after a brief hiatus, true to the name. It's been a while since we issued any '80s digital tunes, but here are two of the rarest and best. Natural Vibes tune is a holy grail, plain and simple. In several years of watching the internet and digging records in New York, Canada and Jamaica, we know of only two copies. No small feat in this day and age! But more importantly, this rare beast is a hell of a tune, a wicked sparse and heavy variation on the 'tempo' rhythm, with a stark message of reality to match and killer synth/keyboard sounds. Sixy Morris' tune is a bit more well known, having been released on 7" in JA and on 12" in the UK. A great digital tune which combines elements of the classic late '80s digital sound with a bit of early '90s flavor, it's got a killer rolling bassline, great singing, and of course, the famous "scratching" fx!

BULLWACKIE / WACKIE'S / IDRINS / SENRAB 7" 45 RPM

DEEPER KNOWLEDGE NEW RELEASES - JUNE 2013

WACKIE'S PRODUCTIONS 7" 45 RPM - PART 2

DKR-128 - JOE MORGAN - BASEMENT SESSION (BULLWACKIE)
DKR-129 - LEROY SIBBLES - NOW YOU'RE GONE (WACKIE'S)
DKR-130 - JUNIOR PETERKIN & THE IDRINS - BABYLON TAKE I DOWN (IDRINS)
DKR-131 - KC WHITE - SELASI I (SENRAB)


Part 2 of our reissue series of rare tunes from Lloyd "Bullwackie" Barnes and his legendary Bronx studio. Joe Morgan's "Basement Session" has the trademark Wackie's sound, deep and deeper. Its got great lyrics about the runnings of NYC basement sessions in the 1970's, a wicked dub to match, and a tough rhythm laid by the Reckless Breed band. Released on the "Bullwackie" label using the stock font and layout of one of NYC's long-shuttered pressing plants, according to Mr. Barnes this one was released "right before I got my logo." Next up, Leroy Sibbles of the Heptones. Leroy did a bunch of work with Wackie's over the years, including this rugged single from the end of the '70s, on Wackie's trademark eponymous 'lion' label. A slow and heavy Soul Syndicate rhythm, cut in Jamaica, and mixed and overdubbed with wicked synths at Wackie's studio. On to "Babylon Take I Down" by Junior Peterkin & The Idrins. A one-away label and a one-away artist (as far as we know!), this is one of the baddest and rarest tunes ever laid at Wackie's studio. Produced by Wackie's for release on the artist's own Idrins label, this has, on top of a cracking drum sound and a killer Wackie's mix, one of the all-time baddest organ sounds in reggae, stone classic tune. Lastly, KC White's 'Selasi I', released on the Senrab label. A version to Elijah's tune of the same name from a few years earlier, produced by Sir Collins (itself an adaptation of a religious standard), this is a great mellow roots tune with ringing piano and a spacy dub. As with our first batch of Wackie's releases, these are done in cooperation with our friends in Germany and their fantastic Wackie's reissue program, which you can check out here. Digital downloads of all these singles, and our previous batch, are available from Hardwax.

SIR COLLINS & STOP POINT 7" 45 RPM

DEEPER KNOWLEDGE NEW RELEASES - MAY 2013

SIR COLLINS 7" 45 RPM - PART 1

DKR-153 - INVADERS - YOU TOUCH MY SOUL / VERSION
DKR-154 - SIR HARRY - POWER HOUSE / VERSION
DKR-158 - INVADERS - STORY OF LOVE / HOLY MOUNTAIN









Proudly announcing our Sir Collins reissue series, featuring some of the deepest and rarest early roots reggae, straight from master tapes. Clancy Collins aka Sir Collins must be now, one of the longest active producers in reggae music, with a history in the music stretching back to the 1950's. His body of work as a producer touches Jamaica, England, and even America, and begins in the ska era, right up to the present day. From a collector's point of view, much of his discography is as elusive and confusing as it is legendary, with many very rare blank-label-only releases and tricky catalog numbers. For this first collaboration with the Collins family, we've chose six of our favorite records from Collins oeuvre, all of which you might loosely describe as 'early roots reggae', and all of which were in desperate need of reissue and rediscovery. From our previous releases by them on the Ujama and Invader imprints (still available, see here!), by now you must know we love The Invaders. Though little is recalled about this harmony group from Trenchtown & Greenwich Farm, their small output during the 1970's was deadly enough, cutting records for Studio One (mostly as harmonizers), Prince Jazzbo, GG's, Lloyd 'Printer' Campbell, and most notably, Sir Collins. "You Touch My Soul" is something of legend among collectors and Studio 1 fiends alike. Sir Collins had the distinction of being among a handful of outside producers to have rented Coxsone Dodd's Studio 1, and produced his own music there. "You Touch My Soul" is one such record, unmistakably by its sound, cut at Brentford Road. A deep, uptempo rhythm underpins the Invaders beautiful vocals, while a majestic trombone comes in and out of the mix. The flipside of the record features a straight instrumental version of the rhythm, as originally only released on the very rare NY issue of the tune on the Waricka label (the UK issue on Sir Collins' own Music Wheel label was on a 4-track EP including other vocal cuts by other artists, and no version). The next tune, "Power House" by Sir Harry, another rare beast from the vaults. This track is alternately know by several names, usually based on the cryptic words spoken by Sir Harry in the intro, and bears no real official title, the original release being only on a blank label. The title "Power House" comes from Charlie Morgan's excellent Studio 1 discography, and we've used it here as a nod to his invaluable work. But on to the music, Sir Harry's tune is not so much his own, as the old time chatter only interjects a few odd phrases here and there. Really the tune is a phenomenal instrumental workout on the same rhythm as "You Touch My Soul", with organ and bongo drum overdubs propelling the awesome rhythm forward, while the Invaders' vocals are heard ever so faintly in the background, bleeding thru from the other track on the 2-track master. Rounding out the trio for part 1 is another Invaders 45, "Story of Love" backed with its deejay version, "Holy Mountain." Another tune only released on a blank label originally, and thus the identity of the artists has long been speculated, but the mastertape revealed the mysterious Invaders again! "Story of Love" is an excellent early '70s tune, with great harmonies and organ, the flipside "Holy Mountain" being a deejay version on the same rhythm, with the vocalist chatting thanks and praises in Amharic, roots indeed. Part 2 of Sir Collins reissues, with 3 more killer 45's is soon to come...stay tuned!

Listen tunes:


STOP POINT 7" 45 RPM

DKR-148 - BIG JOE - WEED SPECIALIST / VERSION
DKR-149 - TONY BREVETT - JUST BEEN FEELING BAD / VERSION





Winston Edwards' STOP POINT label was just one imprint used by the producer in the early-mid '70s, as he moved between London and Kingston, releasing music on both fronts. In the UK his productions primarily came on the FAY MUSIC and DIP imprints. The two tunes we've plucked from his catalog for reissue use a familiar and favorite rhythm. Whether it's another lick or simply another mix of the 'Heaven & Earth/Conquering Lion' rhythm (again, see here!), we can't say, and none involved can recall, but it's great stuff either way and we needed to get these back out there to complete the version excursion. Big Joe's toast to the herbman, "Weed Specialist", bears one of our favorite intros to a record ever. Originally released on DIP 7" in the UK, and a blank label pre-release in JA, it was never released with its own dub version, unfortunately. Our man Tony Brevett (also of legendary group The Melodians) recalls Big Joe voicing the tune at King Tubby's! And it's Tony who sings the other cut, "Just Been Feeling Bad", a confessional tune about realizing he's done his woman wrong. This one was released in the UK on Fay Music 7" and on the elusive Miami Records imprint in JA. It features a prominent organ overdub likely done in the UK, but the rhythm and voicing are pure Kingston, JA. Each tune is backed with a straight instrumental version of the Brevett cut, as sadly Tony's tune also never had a proper dub issued.

TASHA 10" 45 RPM / LEGGO SOUNDS 7" 45 RPM

DEEPER KNOWLEDGE NEW RELEASES - APRIL 2013

TASHA RECORDS 10" 45 RPM

DKR-144 - MIDNIGHT RIDERS/GLADIATORS BAND - CROSS THE BORDER/BORDER DUB *PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED*

DKR-145 - MICHAEL PALMER/STEVE KNIGHT - DEM A LICK SHOT/DUB // SEE DEM A COME/DUB *B-SIDE FEATURES TWO PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED MIXES*







Our long awaited fourth round of releases from the Tasha label features maybe their biggest and baddest rhythm! Michael Palmer's "Dem a Lick Shot" was cut in April 1984, and is the ORIGINAL cut of the tune later re-done for the Powerhouse label. One of the baddest rhythms of the much-revered-by-us mid '80s period of the Channel 1 sound, it's monstrously slow and heavy, laid by a then current iteration of the Gladiators Band, which featured Barnabas on drums. This tune is also recalled by some to be the first voiced & released tune by Michael Palmer, aka "Palmer Dog" as he was originally and locally known at the time. "Dem a Lick Shot" was originally released on 7-inch in JA on the Tasha label, and on 12-inch in Canada on the W&B label, in slightly different mixes. It's reissued here equipped with dub, the mix being the same as issued on the 12-inch, with nuff 'lick shot' effects! This is backed with the second cut of the rhythm, by Steve Knight, "See Dem a Come." While this tune was issued on Steve's fantastic "Orphan Child" LP a few years after being voiced, it was originally intended to be released as a 10-inch single in NYC on Channel 1's Hitbound label. However, that release never happened, and so finally released now are the vocal and dub mixes as intended for that release. The vocal mix is different to that of the LP! Our other release is the absolute monster tune "Cross the Border" by Midnight Riders. This tune caught the attention of some astute dubplate fiends when an old dubplate of the tune was sold on eBay a few years back. A majestic roots tune on this killer rhythm, it's mind boggling that this one never made it to release at the time, but here it is now in all its glory, vocal & dub, the pinnacle of the Channel 1 sound.

LEGGO SOUNDS 7" 45 RPM

BE-011 - THE HAX - GIMME THE WUK
BE-012 - THE HAX - NAH FATTEN NO ROACH FE FOWL





Long time coming, here are the final two of the three killer tunes by the HAX, cut for Leggo Sounds back in the mid '80s. We previously issued the awesome "Duppy" (still available!) as DKR-011 a few years back, and now the other two tunes from the same session are finally available again. Carlton "The Hax" Lafters didn't do much recording, but these three tunes cut for Leggo are some of the finest mid '80s reggae with the "live digital" sound we love so much.

DEEPER KNOWLEDGE NEW RELEASES - MARCH 2013

NEGUS MUSIC 7" 45 RPM

DKR-138 - ALBERT MALAWI - GIVE ME LOVING
DKR-139 - ALBERT MALAWI - AROUND THE COUNTRY
DKR-140 - ALBERT MALAWI - JAH BIBLE







Serious tunes, three previously unreleased shots from legendary singer, drummer and selector Albert Malawi aka Ilawi. His presence in the history of roots reggae looms wide, as member of the Twelve Tribes band, session drummer on many classic recordings, and selector for the Jahlove sound system. Albert didn't do too many songs as a vocalist, but those he did are long among favorites of ours and roots reggae fans worldwide. So it was a pleasure to find these great unreleased recordings, produced by our friend and long time Bronx sound man Alvin "Negus" Thompson, some of which are known from play on dubplate by Jahlove sound. The rhythms for 'Give Me Loving' and 'Around the Country' were laid at Channel 1 in the early '80s by Ilawi and friends, while the digital rhythm for 'Jah Bible' was done in the latter part of the decade, made between Connecticut and the Bronx.

DEEPER KNOWLEDGE NEW RELEASES - FEBRUARY 2013

CITY LINE / RAWSE 7" 45 RPM

DKR-124 - JOE AXUMITE - NO EQUAL RIGHTS IN BABYLON (CITY LINE)
DKR-125 - WAYNE JARRETT/JERRY JOHNSON - COME LET'S GO/ZION ROCK (DUB) (CITY LINE)
DKR-126 - DON 'JAH' CARLOS/SOUL SYNDICATE - BLACK HARMONY/BLACK LOVE DUB (RAWSE)
DKR-127 - JAH I MAZ/BABA LESLIE - FREEDOM IS A MUST/FREEDOM DUB (CITY LINE)









A long time in the making, part one of a new series of reissues produced by the great Lloyd "Bullwackie" Barnes. So many Wackie's productions are long among our personal favorites, and some helped introduce us to the wonderful world of Jamaican music. We'll be issuing many now hard to find singles as well as some previously LP-only tracks and other surprises! Our first selection of singles all appear, of course, on their original labels. Joe Axumite's tune is one we've long wanted to present, awesome tune backed by an incredible dub featuring what sounds like infinite echo. Wayne Jarrett rose to notoriety with Wackie's, and this single is one of his all-time best, backed by a great horns version by Wackie's stalwart horns man Jerry Johnson. Next, a NYC/JA collaboration with Wackie's producing an early tune by Don Carlos, originally credited as 'Jah Carlos', over a tough Soul Syndicate rhythm. This one is on the Rawse label. Lastly for this batch, Jah I Maz's great "Freedom Is a Must", fantastic roots with the trademark deep and murky Wackie's sound. The flip side is a great dub by another long time Wackie's horns man, Baba Leslie. We hope that this new singles series, along with the great foundation set by Basic Channel's amazing and standard-setting series of Wackie's reissues, will help shine an even brighter light on the wealth of fantastic music produced by Wackie's in the past several decades. Further, we are both proud and happy to announce that our Wackie's series will be released in full cooperation with our friends at Basic Channel, who will be handling the digital distribution. All releases in our Wackie's series will be available as high quality digital downloads via Basic Channel and the HARD WAX online record shop.

CRY TUFF / UJAMA / INVADER 7" 45 RPM

DEEPER KNOWLEDGE NEW RELEASES - JANUARY 2013

CRY TUFF 7" 45 RPM
DKR-122 - JENNIFER LARA - MUSIC BY THE SCORE
DKR-123 - DEADLY HEADLEY & ASHER - DRUMS OF THE ARAB



Deep late '70s roots from Prince Far I's CRY TUFF label. Two killer tunes only ever released on JA 45, reissued for the first time. As lovers of female fronted roots tunes we had to get this killer Jennifer Lara tune out there, a rugged lick of the 'rockfort rock' riddim. Next is a monster instrumental/dub single, Deadly Headley and Asher's killer lick of the 'drum song' riddim, wicked horns, keyboard and melodica at the forefront. RIP Prince Far I, your legacy of music lives on.

UJAMA / INVADER 7" 45 RPM
DKR-135 - NAGGO MORRIS - BOOTLEGGER
DKR-136 - INVADERS - CONQUERING LION
DKR-137 - INVADERS - HEAVEN & EARTH




A great reggae mystery, now solved! The infamous "Conquering Lion" dubplate as played by Coxsone sound, revealed! Like most who hear it, we became entranced with this infamous and awesome tune after hearing a recording of its famous broadcast on David Rodigan's Capitol Radio show, by Coxsone sound selector Festus. He announced the tune as being sung by Lloyd Ruddock, "King Tubby's from Jamaica's brother." That man of course, is better known as Scunna, the original force behind the Jayes, who had a string of massive hits in late '70s for Channel 1, like 'Queen Majesty' and 'Truly.' As Scunna is also now a Brooklyn native, we checked him to find out more about the tune. But what we found out was simple...he didn't sing it! So the mystery endured, for the moment. Until a couple years later, when a friend of ours came across a fantastic (and fantastically rare!) blank pre-release single from Jamaica, and it helped crack the case. The single was an awesome and previously unknown (to almost all, it seems!) vocal on the same riddim as 'Conquering Lion', and the voice was unmistakable, one of our favorite artists...Naggo Morris! Immediately after hearing this tune, we were eager to find out more, and like many mysteries of Jamaican music, the matrix number on the blank label 45 helped tell the tale. The matrix bore the name of another friend of ours, none other than legendary deejay and producer Prince Jazzbo! Naturally, we immediately checked Jazzbo about it, and the mystery was revealed! Jazzbo confirmed that he indeed produced the Naggo Morris tune, at the same time as the more well known "Clean Hands" 45 which appeared on his Brisco label. But this tune, called "Bootlegger", was only ever pressed in a miniscule quantity as a blank label pre-release, managing to elude most collectors of JA music for nearly 40 years! And we found out that Jazzbo did indeed produce two other cuts on the same rhythm, by The Invaders, a harmony group from Greenwich Farm and Trenchtown! One cut, "Conquering Lion" was given by Jazzbo to the then-young Coxsone sound system in London, for play and promotion on the sound. Over the years and through the Capitol Radio broadcast, the tune became legendary. The other cut, "Heaven & Earth" was released in Jamaica for the Invaders on their own new Invader label. With all this information at hand, the next move was clear. We did what it is that we do, and here now you have all three tunes on crisp 45s! Another interesting footnote to these tunes which perplexed collectors over the years, is that the dub side of the Naggo Morris 45, which is a melodica cut to the rhythm, is known to some via a mis-press from the time of it's original release. The B-side stamper for the Naggo Morris tune was accidentally used as the B-side to Sir Harry & Jah Woosh's "Way Down West" 45 on the Sir Harry label. The label states "Difendon Version" by Sir Harry All Stars, but due to a mistake at the pressing plant, the record plays the dub to "Bootlegger". This dub is also featured as the b-side to 'Conquering Lion', as we unfortunately could not locate a unique dub for this tune, though we think one surely existed so many years ago. Prince Jazzbo would also like to acknowledge the late great King Tubby, without whom these tunes would not be possible. All three were voiced and mixed by the King himself, making these yet another piece of Tubby's indelible legacy. Lastly, two further cuts on a slightly different take of this rhythm, by Big Joe and Tony Brevett, will be released a short while later this year, to complete the version excursion.
