2023 repress. "In The Light is rightly regarded as Horace Andy's strongest testament. Originally released in 1977 and given confirmed reggae album classic status by its 1995 Blood & Fire release, this reissue is complete with the Prince Jammy dub companion. The newly commissioned sleeve notes are written by reggae historian, Noel Hawks, and feature previously unseen photos. Horace Andy is already considered a legend in reggae circles, a status which has strengthened through his work with Massive Attack and his continued live presence. In The Light captures Andy at the very highpoint of his game."

Horace Andy's voice is an instrument that once heard is never forgotten, regardless of whether you first hear it on one of the numerous Jamaican reggae singles that he recorded during the '70s or -- like most people -- on one of the Massive Attack albums he collaborated on as a vocalist. His falsetto and his characteristic slow-motion vibrato breathed life into tracks like "Spying Glass", "Cuss Cuss", "In The Light", "Skylarking" or "(You are My) Angel", ensuring that they still continue to resonate deeply with listeners. His vocal style influenced countless root singers and the combination of his timbre with Massive Attack's spartan hip-hop beats still inspires legions of fans and copyists all over the world. Echo Beach has now picked up on this tradition -- and the much older tradition of versioning -- by asking friends of the label to rework Horace Andy's classic tracks in their own sound outfit. But this time the label hasn't trawled old Studio One tapes for historic vocal snippets -- that were so nineties; no, Horace Andy personally put in an appearance to sing new versions of his classic tracks on top of timeless and contemporary riddims. Age may have deepened his voice, but it is by no means weaker, as can be heard on this album, on which Echo Beach welcomes old friends and new faces: there's Rob Smith (RSD), who as part of More Rockers and Smith & Mighty was just as crucial for Bristol's musical reputation as Massive Attack or DJ Krust and Roni Size. Today, he ensures continuity by working under the label and producer name. Features Million Teeth, Dub Spencer & Trance Hill Vs. Umberto Echo, Oliver Frost, Eva Be, Black Star Liner, Dreadzone, Noiseshaper, and Dubblestandart.

But here, Horace Andy personally put in an appearance to sing new versions of his classic tracks on top of timeless and contemporary riddims. Age may have deepened his voice, but it is by no means weaker, as can be heard on this album, on which Echo Beach welcomes old friends and new faces. Rob Smith (Smith & Mighty) dubs side by side with young steppers such as Pinch and Peverelist. With "Bad Man" he has chosen a track in which Horace Andy makes clear what he thinks about stress and good-for-nothings. The Viennese musicians from Dubblestandard have in the past collaborated with Echo Beach to produce riddim versions for Ari Up, Lee Scratch Perry, and Mikey Dread; their version of "Money Money" picks up where a long list of legendary cuts of this song left off, all of which were based on "Money is the Root of All Evil" on Phil Pratt's Sun-Shot label. Noiseshaper releases their first recordings since 2009, remixing "Skylarking". Black Star Liner from Leeds and their mix of Asian style inna vibe of sitar and tabla "Tings" going on well merched with dance and dub on "Dou You Love My Music". Dub Spencer & Trance Hill get together with wily studio fox Umberto Echo and declare war on Babylon again in the shape of a dub treatment pock-holed with weird delay effects. Dreadzone from London are specialists to combine trippy notes and beats with roots. The "Money Money Remix" is an killer as well as the New Yorker set up Subatomic Sound System and their remix of "Cuss Cuss" -- but the focus -- as for all the other musicians featured here -- is always on the spiritual identity of the songs and the deep respect they have for Horace. This album will ensure that this incredible voice is never forgotten. Also features Misled Convoys, Madasky, Adubta, Adam Prescott & Booker Gee, T-Jah, Hoboken Hifi, Irie Worryah, Soul Sugar, Jah Schulz, Dubjestic, and New Bladerunner Of Dub.

Kingston Sounds present a reissue of Horace Andy's Natty Dread A Weh She Want, originally released in 1979. The Natty Dread A Weh She Want set brings together two legends of reggae music. The stylish and unmistakable falsetto voice of singer Horace Andy, and the production/DJ singing skills of Tapper Zukie. Both artists' catalogues of music stand up strong, but something special out comes from both of them on this set of tunes. "Natty Dread A Weh She Want" was a massive hit when it was released by Tapper Zukie and Horace Andy, but this timeless track still sounds as fresh today as the day it was released in 1979, as do the other tracks on this fine album. CD version includes five bonus tracks.

2022 restock. "One of reggae's most distinctive singers, Horace Andy has managed to sound as credible delivering social commentary as love songs. As one critic put it, 'The fragile, vulnerable qualities of his voice could invariably be relied upon to add dignity and sincerity to songs that, if performed by a lesser talent, would sound quite ordinary.' The proof is everywhere on this compilation."

LP version. Horace Andy has always commanded a place high on the list of reggae singers from Jamaica. His distinctive, haunting vocal style stands strong on any rhythm, song, or style he chooses to cover. He has managed to crossover to a new generation of listeners due to his individual style, helped also by his collaborations with the likes of Massive Attack. Born Horace Hinds in 1951, Kingston Jamaica, he began his musical career at Coxsonne Dodd's Studio One. So impressed with the young Horace, Coxsonne decided on a name change and named him after his top songwriter at the time, Bob Andy. His first tune for Coxsonne ("Something on My Mind") was a slow burner in Jamaica, but his belief in his young protégé paid off later with "Skylarking," a tune that put the singer all over the radios and sound systems of Jamaica. After numerous singles and two albums worth of material, Horace moved on to work with many of the topflight Jamaican producers, among them Keith Hudson, Augustus Pablo, and Niney the Observer, but it was his work with producer Bunny Lee in the '70s that produced most of his hits, which we have compiled for this set. Some of his late '60s classics are recut in the popular 1970s style, working with the rhythm kings themselves, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare. They have added some shine to "Something on My Mind" and "Skylarking" and made them hits all over again. Horace also adds his signature to covers of Delroy Wilson's version of the Tams's "Riding for a Fall," the Heptones' "My Guiding Star," John Holt's "Man Next Door," and Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine." A bass-heavy cut of Bob Marley's "Natural Mystic" is also present. This fine set of 1970s classics represents some of the best music ever made in Jamaica.

Echo Beach presents a release of reworks of classic songs by Horace Andy, from RSD, Oliver Frost, Dubblestandart, Der Transformer, Dub Spencer & Trance Hill vs. Umberto Echo, Fenin, TVS and Eva B. Horace Andy's voice is an instrument that, once heard, is never forgotten, regardless of whether you first hear it on one of the numerous Jamaican reggae singles that he recorded during the '70s or -- like most people -- on one of the Massive Attack albums he collaborated on as a vocalist. His vocal style influenced countless root singers and the combination of his timbre with Massive Attack's spartan hip-hop beats still inspires legions of fans and copyists all over the world. Although his merits as a roots reggae singer go back to the '70s, Horace Andy has always loved experimenting: he recorded two albums with the British dub master Mad Professor and for a track on the Inspiration Information series by the Strut label he let house master Ashley Beedle work with his voice. Last, but not least, a Black Star Liner remix of his song "Do You Love My Music" which was released by Echo Beach emerged as an evergreen amongst soundsystems across Europe. Echo Beach has now picked up on this tradition, and the much older tradition of versioning, by asking friends of the label to rework Horace Andy's classic tracks in their own sound outfit. But this time, the label hasn't trawled old Studio One tapes for historic vocal snippets. That would be soooo '90s; no, Horace Andy personally put in an appearance to sing new versions of his classic tracks on top of timeless and contemporary riddims. Age may have deepened his voice, but it is by no means weaker, as can be heard on this album, on which Echo Beach welcomes old friends and new faces: there's Rob Smith, who works under the label and producer name RSD. Dubblestandart have in the past collaborated with Echo Beach to produce riddim versions for Ari Up, Lee Scratch Perry and Mikey Dread; their version of "Money Money" picks up where a long list of legendary cuts of this song left off. Dub Spencer & Trance Hill are the jack-of-all-trades of versioning, capable of even twisting a dreadlock into the hoary beards of classic Metallica tracks. Together with wily studio fox Umberto Echo, they have declared war on Babylon again in the shape of a dub treatment pock-holed with weird delay effects. Der Tranformer show their love for vintage equipment from the days of King Tubby, and present Horace Andy as the true Mr. Loverman with "She Say." TVS (Trance Vision Steppers) have applied 20 years of studio and stage experience to Horace Andy's immortal hit "Skylarking." Oliver Frost should be familiar to friends of the lounge gods of Jazzanova and Daniel Best's Berlin reggae forge Best Seven. The mixes of Eva B and Fenin pulse in the intersection between Berghain hypnosis and Yaam relaxed-ness, but the focus -- as for all the other musicians featured here -- is always on the spiritual identity of the songs and the deep respect they have for the 40-year career of an exceptional artist.

Released in 2005. Appearing originally on the Solid Groove label out of Croydon in South London, Exclusively is sometimes misconstrued as the UK issue of Dance Hall Style. The tracks from both were recorded at the same sessions -- with Bullwackie joined at the controls by Junior Delahaye and Prince Douglas, and issued close together in 1982-83, Croydon first. Half of Exclusively non-exclusively versions four tracks from the Stateside release, and three are re-titled. Also "Eating Mess," which appeared on the first pressing of Dance Hall Style, though unlisted on the sleeve. The mixes are all different (and without dubs). Five further specials include the funky "Musical Episode," a superior Bob Marley tribute, and a version of "Rougher Yet." It's all vintage Wackies, and spun out of Horace's all-time greatest album -- unmissable.

"The Bullwackies cut of Horace Andy's 'Serious Thing' eclipses on all sides the classic Bunny Lee version of five or so years earlier -- Horace like an angel over a stepping roots arrangement, with the horns on side A imparting extra gravitas, and the majestic Wackies production extra effects on the flip. Originally released in 1981, in the company of Youthman, Sometime Girl, Rockfort Rock -- the horns versions in the UK on the Infradig label, the guitar versions (side AA of this reissue) in the US on a white label stamped with the Wackies insignia -- another Lloyd Barnes killer, dead seriously."

New release. This reissue combines two 12"s. "Tribute To Bob Marley" was originally released on the Top Ranking International label in 1981, soon after the Wailer's death in May, and provided an outstanding cut on Horace Andy's exclusive album set issued the following year in London by Solid Groove. The flip side featured Jah Batta's DJ cut "Great Super Star," uncredited on the original label. This release includes a totally original mix of "Lingering Spirit," originally issued in 1983 on the Bullwackies label, coupled with Horace's compelling interpretation of "Love Hangover."

"Throughout the illustrious thirty-year recording career of Horace Andy, with its innumerable highs, his unmistakable falsetto has lit up just three albums of indisputable greatness -- Skylarking, for Coxsone at Studio One; In The Light, for Everton DaSilva's Hungry Town label, in Queens, New York; and -- with the biggest original impact, by far the most contemporary of the trio - Dance Hall Style, for Bullwackies in the Bronx. Recorded at the turn of the seventies, Dance Hall Style reworks songs first recorded by Bunny Lee ('Money Money') and Derek Harriott ('Lonely Woman') -- alongside a version of Lloyd Robinson's 'Cuss Cuss' -- and births classics like 'Spying Glass' (later covered by Massive Attack). The musicians include Wackies regulars like Owen Stewart and Oral Cooke from Itopia, Ras Menilik and Jah T.; also Horace's multi-instrumentalist spar Myrie Dread from the Hungry Town sessions. At the desk, Lloyd Barnes, Junior Delahaye and Douglas Levy coax unequalled vocal performances from Horace Andy, showcased in ineffable extended mixes."
