"The sound of Capital Letters is deep roots -- UK style. Championed by influential BBC DJ John Peel, Capital Letters breakthrough single 'Smoking My Ganja' became one of the bestselling reggae records of 1978. The success of their debut album Headline News led to multiple tours across the UK and mainland Europe throughout the early 1980s. More than 30 years later, Greensleeves re-introduces the group's critically acclaimed follow up album, Vinyard. Originally released in 1982, the re-issue package captures the sound of the golden age of UK reggae."

"A collaboration between dub mixmaster/studio whiz King Tubby and dancehall tough Jah Screw, Dangerous Dub is a ten-track collection of some of the heaviest roots dub around. The two spent nights mixing tracks in King Tubby's studio located in the perilous, crime-rife ghetto of West Kingston -- hence the name Dangerous Dub. Pounding, mind-blowing basslines and supple guitar tracks are provided by studio mainstays Flabba Holt and Bingy Bunny, both of whom appear on countless reggae and dub recordings. They provide a nice balance to the rat-a-tat ratcheting sounds King Tubby is famous for." --Matthew Hillburn, AllMusic

"The follow-up to Johnny Osbourne's 1980 Fally Lover album, and even though two years have passed, time seems to have stood still here, but that's not surprising considering this set was also overseen by Junjo Lawes and backed by the Roots Radics. Regardless, Never Stop Fighting has a brighter sound than its predecessor, especially on the first half of the disc. Across four love numbers the Radics offer up a series of breezy backings, or as breezy as the band can be when fired by Style Scott's militant beats and Errol "Flabba" Holt's thumping basslines. However, pianist Gladdy Gladstone and keyboardist Winston Wright keep the sound light and the melody flowing, reaching effervescent heights on the delightful 'Sister Mister.' Most of the album is themed around matters of the heart, and while numbers like the superb 'Curly Locks Girl' are declarations of love, there's also the emotional confusion of 'Over 31 Under 21' and the timeless romance of 'Love Is Universal.' In a totally different vein comes 'Baccara' (aka 'Backra'), a patois-heavy party piece with a carnival lilt. There's little for culture fans, but Osbourne makes up for quantity with quality, opening the set with the potent demand to end the violence of the title track, fueled by one of the Radics' most militant rhythms, and ending with the heartfelt sufferer's song 'Words of the Ghetto.' But the set's showcase is the extended 'Give a Little Love,' a soulful call to share the love, and boasting one of Scientist's most spectacularly militant mixes. The Radics are superb as always, Lawes' dubby production giving even the breeziest songs a deep roots feel, while Scientist gives every number the sharpest of edges. An excellent set." - Jo-Ann Greene

"Sylford Walker's heart-stopping '70s roots anthems records for Glen Brown are rightfully regarded as holy relics of reggae. The Lamb's Bread album gathers up these classic sides (formerly reissued on the Blood & Fire label) and once again makes them available for the roots disciples. Mixed by King Tubby at King Tubby's this fully re-mastered package also includes Welton Irie's top-ranking 'Ghettoman Corner' set, the pairing gives the listener both a sung and deejayed version of these classic Glen Brown produced roots rhythms ('Slaving,' 'Glen Brown at Cross Roads,' 'Cleanliness Is Holiness')."

"Classic roots reggae album from 1982 produced by Prince Jammy at Channel One and King Tubby's. Includes the hit singles 'Ism Skism' and 'Ain't No Me Without You' as well as the anthemic title track. Youthman Skanking is a sterling addition to what would become known as the roots-based 'Waterhouse Sound' spearheaded by Black Uhuru. Wayne Smith and Jammy would go on to be a major influence on the whole world of music with the game changing, genre defying hit 'Under Me Sleng Teng' but Youthman Skanking is where it all began."

"Zungguzungguguzungguzeng went on to become a signature tune for Yellowman when coupled up on a massive hit Greensleeves 12" Disco 45 with 'Who can make the dance Ram.' Both sides on this set feature the group in their dance-corking glory. The album, produced by Henry 'Junjo' Lawes, is rightly regarded as a dancehall classic and highlights a wicked selection of Yellowman duets with his longtime spa Fathead. Zungguzungguguzungguzeng was proof then and now that as for ramming the dance, if anyone can, Yellowman can. Recorded and mixed at Joe Gibbs and Channel One. Engineered by Errol Thompson and Soldgie. Back by Radics and Hi-Times Band."

"Dancehall singjay Half Pint recorded some of the genre's early classics during the first half of the '80s. His appeal outside Jamaica was somewhat limited by his willingness to repeat simple musical ideas, but the best of his work was frequently brilliant. He was the first major artist produced by Prince Jammy (later King Jammy), and together they helped establish a lighter, more relaxed, more melodic approach to dancehall that made for an easy transition into the digital ragga era. While Half Pint's subject matter was mostly romantic, he also offered the occasional conscious lyrics, which for a time made him an exception in the dancehall world among both singers and DJs (his vocal delivery contained elements of both styles, but was weighted more toward the former)."

"Dub companion to the 'five-star' 1978 release, Africa Must Be Free By 1983, this album underscores the relationship be-tween producer Augustus Pablo and performer Hugh Mundell. Pablo's dub productions, mixed by King Jammy form the perfect complement to these classic rhythms and melodies. Re-mastered for release in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Greensleeves label, the album is example of why Augustus Pablo continues to inspire reggae music fans and musicians these decades later."
