CARLOS, DON	Day To Day Living	LP	GREENSLEEVES	GREL 045LP
$27.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL 2022 repress. 2012 reissue. Originally released in 1982. "Featuring the excellent backing of the Roots Radics band, Don Carlos' Day to Day Living includes ten self-penned, sophisticated roots-reggae cuts. With his slightly hoarse yet sweet vocals, Carlos takes on his usual topical mix of spiritual/Rastafarian themes, ghetto life, and dancehall culture, showing the kind of lovers rock and roots lyric blend also favored by contemporaries like Gregory Isaacs and Dennis Brown. Musically, Carlos alternates between the dimly lit, minimalist drum'n'bass backdrops on 'Street Life' and 'Hog and Goat,' and sunnier, bubbly organ and horn-driven cuts like 'Hey Mr. Babylon' and 'English Woman,' with the updated rock-steady cut 'I'm Not Crazy' standing out in particular. While producer Henry 'Junjo' Lawes (Barrington Levy, Eek-A-Mouse) supplies the album's rugged but slick backdrop, Scientist delivers a spacious, dub-tinged mix. Special mention should also be made of Winston Wright's tasty organ work throughout the set, and 'Flabba' Holt and 'Style' Scott's rock-solid rhythmic support. As is the case with his Harvest Time record, Day to Day Living includes some of the best music Carlos released in the '80s." --AllMusic

CARLOS, DON	Wipe the Wicked Clean	CD	KINGSTON SOUNDS	KSCD 054CD
$14.00 NOT IN STOCK Born Don McCarlos, Don Carlos possesses one of reggae's most distinctive voices. His vocal mannerisms are instantly recognizable over a tune, yet he remains one of Jamaica's best-kept secrets. This collection looks back at some of his finest moments that set the tone for his popularity that was to follow in the dancehall period of reggae. He began his musical career in 1973, when alongside Garth Dennis and Derrick Ducky Simpson he formed one of reggae's foremost groups, Black Uhuru. He then joined Wailing Souls before going solo under his shorter name Don Carlos. Most of his classics are represented here and Kingston Sounds hopes you find some magic unearthed in these lost treasures.
