"This is the very first reissue of the much in demand double sided killer single released in 1970 on the Upsetter label. Never reissued until now, Lee Perry's genius particularly shines in this this minimalist but beautiful cover of the Beatles masterpiece. Minimalist because out of the 242 beautiful words in the original song, the iconoclast just kept the chorus i.e. just two sentences: 'Let it be, let it be, let it be, whisper words of wisdom, let it be.' The rest of the lyrics are just 'da da da' but create a surprisingly gorgeous melody beautifully sung by the Soulettes. 'Big Dog Bloxie' is in fact a Lee Perry version of the A Side. In this version, Perry took the beautiful song by the Soulettes and scraped all the vocals, leaving the bare instrumental basking in its nasty Boss glory. True it does not sound much like The Beatles anymore but it sure is Skinhead music at its finest!"

"Reissued on 7" vinyl for the very first time, 'Sinner Man' was originally released in 1973 on the Technics label in the UK. It seems it was not released in Jamaica. First issued as the B Side of her 'Just One Look' single, 'Sinner Man' is a slow tempo cut driven by laid back guitar riffs, organ bursts and Annette's incredible vocals. 'Sinner Man Dub' is Scratch's Dub reworking of the of A Side, previously only released as a single for a Lee Perry box set nearly 20 years ago. This is the first time these two complementary tracks have been released together."

"Here is the much-anticipated Volume 4 of Hot Sauce dedicated to the Trojan related UK labels between 1965 and 1975. Hot Sauce Volume 4 features outstanding original rocksteady, boss reggae and early reggae tracks including rare songs, overlooked gems, hidden treasures and a couple of hits. The record labels showcased on this volume are Amalgamated, Big Shot, Duke, Explosion, Grape, High Note, JJ Records, Treasure Isle and Trojan. The tracks here have been selected according to their musical interest, their rarity, and how they complement other selections on the release. These tracks are all outstanding -- all killer, no filler. Particular attention has been paid to the way the songs are sequenced so that the album builds up nicely and gradually, starting with the rocksteady songs on the A Side and the '70s songs on the B Side. The Hot Sauce series is a musical journey across Trojan and its labels highlighting early Jamaican reggae's many diverse sub-genres and outstanding artists. Since the early '70s Tighten Up series, no compilations have really explored these labels in depth on vinyl."

"This is a special limited edition strictly limited to 500 copies -- one release only. This is the first re-release on 7" of the mythic double sided single credited to producer Joe Gibbs and released in 1968 on Amalgamated Records in the U.K. Although both tracks are credited to Joe Gibbs, many believe the A Side 'People Grudgeful' was sung by The Ethiopians whilst the B Side 'Pan Ya Machete' was performed by The Pioneers. 'Grudgeful' though does not really sound like The Ethiopians and according to Trojan, both sides were performed by The Pioneers. Which makes sense for several reasons. Firstly, the sound of the song is indeed more reminiscent of the Pioneers/Joe Gibbs work of that time. In fact, The Ethiopians did not record with Joe Gibbs, with the exception of The Ring which was released in 1972, four years later, while the Pioneers were routinely involved with Gibbs in 1968. Last but not least, The Ethiopians had no beef with Lee 'Scratch' Perry whilst The Pioneers songs were clearly incriminated by Scratch in his hit song 'People Funny Boy.'"

"This is a special limited edition strictly limited to 500 copies -- one release only. This is the firrst reissue of two outstanding, very rare and highly collectible tracks by The Ethiopians. They were initially released on two different singles and are put together on a single here for the first time. This is the very first reissue of 'Train To Glory' on 7". This super rare and super good 1968 Rocksteady song complete with kitch train-like sound effects and superb harmonies. It was initially released on Gayfeet in 1968 in Jamaica and Doctor Bird in the U.K. with the song 'You Got The Dough' on the B Side and was never repressed until now. On the B Side, 'Mek You Go On So' was released as a single only (with the song 'Neck Tie' by Winston Wright on the B Side) on JJ Records in Jamaica and on Duke Records in the U.K.in 1970. This real catchy Rocksteady track is very representative of The Ethiopians at the top of their art while they were produced by JJ Johnson. It was never released on album, as a result good and very scarce copies of the original single fetch top dollars today!"

"First reissue on 7" of the super rare killer single by The Pioneers. The Pioneers were formed in 1962 by two brothers Derrick and Sidney Crooks and their friend Winston Hewitt, later replaced by former Heptone Glen Adams. The Pioneers' early singles were not successful, and the group broke up in 1967. Sydney started working at Joe Gibbs shop and then in the studio where he met a talented new young singer: Jackie Robinson. The new Pioneers were reborn as a duo. They recorded several successful singles such as 'Longshot' 'Jackpot', and 'Catch the Beat' with Gibbs before joining producer Leslie Kong where they recorded 'Samfie Man' which topped the Jamaican charts. They then recruited George Agard and became a trio again. They scored in the charts again with 'Long Shot (Kick De Bucket)' a sequel to 'Long Shot', the tragic story of a race horse that never won and died racing! 'Kick De Bucket' became an instant hit both in Jamaican and in the U.K. particularly among skinheads in 1969. More hits followed and the band moved to the U.K. in 1970. Over time, their sound changed and became more sophisticated and pop and they eventually recorded soul albums with Eddy Grant as a producer in 1976, which were not successful, and the band split. They have been performing sporadically since then. This is the first re-release on 7" of this super rare killer single by The Pioneers released in 1968 on Amalgamated Records in Jamaica and on Doctor Bird in the U.K. Both tracks have never been reissued until now. Super rare and super good. Only 500 copies pressed in this edition

"Limited edition 7" featuring two super rare Boss killers by Tommy MC Cook. These two tracks were initially released on separate singles, 'The Rooster' was released on Duke (a Trojan sub label) in 1970 whilst 'The Saint' was released on Trojan the same year. This is the first time these two MCCook's Boss tracks are released together and it is also the first re-release on 7" vinyl single of these two rare and in-demand skinhead hits. Cuban born McCook moved to Jamaica when he was a little boy and became a pupil at the Kingston's Alpha School where he took up tenor saxophone at the tender age of 11. The Alpha School was run by Catholic nuns and renowned for its outstanding musical education. After a stint in the US where he discovered the sounds of Coltrane, he went on to form the Skatalites in 1964 with Rolando Alphonso, Johnny Moore, Lester Sterling, Don Drummond, Lloyd Knibb, Lloyd Brevett, Jerry Haynes, and Jackie Mittoo. McCook, Drummond, Moore and Sterling were all students from the Alpha School. The Skatalites played their last show in August 1965 after Don Drummond's imprisonment for the murder of his girlfriend. The break-up resulted in the formation of two studio bands, Rolando Alphonso & The Studio One Orchestra and Tommy McCook & The Supersonics. The Supersonics were the house band for Arthur 'Duke' Reids' label Treasure Isle. Its members came from The Skatalites with the addition of top new musicians. They were one of Jamaica's most talented and productive bands and covered successfully many genres from ska and rocksteady to reggae and dub. Only 500 copies pressed in this edition -- one release only."

"Reggay Undercover is an exciting musical kaleidoscope of Jamaican and Reggae music from the early '60s through to the mid-70s. In the 1950s, Jamaican dancehall regulars were crazy about the haunting sounds of American Rhythm & Blues. But in the mid-1950s, Rock n' roll began to replace R&B in America, and Jamaican dancehall owners like Duke Reid and Clement Dodd turned to local musicians to record their own versions of American R&B. The trend of covering foreign hits exploded during the Ska heyday of the early '60s and continued through the Rocksteady and Reggae eras. Jamaican musicians have covered virtually every genre of music, from jazz and rock to film scores, television soundtracks, pop, classical music and more. Over the years, they have also recorded many 'versions' of already existing covers. Cover of cover of cover... Admittedly, some of these covers were futile but many were sublime as this new and eclectic collection of Ska, Rocksteady and Reggay nuggets, compiled by the very competent and very charming DJ Helea, brilliantly demonstrates. Attention we are here 'undercover', there are no well-known covers. Some of the tracks selected are rare, others unknown or forgotten - but all are excellent and blended in an impeccable mix, in line with previous Harlem Shuffle compilations... All killer, no filler!"

"The Maytones, aka The Mighty Maytones, was a duo comprising Vernon Buckley and Gladstone Grant from May Pen, Jamaica, hence the group name Maytones. They started recording with Alvin Ranglin in 1968, with their first single on Ranglin's GG's Records imprint becoming a hit -- 'Cold Up' on the A side and the cult anthem 'Loving Reggae' on the flip. Presented here -- on the A Side, 'Call You Up', first released in 1968 on GG's Records (as 'Cold Up'). This is the first reissue of this rare and gorgeous song. On the B-side, the wicked boss reggae instrumental 'Barrabus' previously issued only on the British label Explosion in 1970, making it extremely rare and sought after."

"The Paragons were originally called The Binders, a band that comprised Keith Anderson (better known as Bob Andy), Garth Evans (aka Tyrone Evans), Junior Menz, and Leroy Stamp. In 1964 John Holt and Howard Barrett replaced Menz, and Stamp and the name was changed to The Paragons. Anderson left in 1965, and The Paragons continued as a trio. After John Holt left to pursue a solo career, Vic Taylor took Holt's place. The trio initially recorded two outstanding albums, including the legendary On The Beach. In 1980 Blondie covered their song 'The Tide Is High' with great international success. Today, On The Beach is considered to be the definitive rocksteady LP. Presented here, two selections from the On The Beach full-length, the gorgeous and haunting 'When The Lights Are Low' on the A-side. A Rocksteady masterpiece that totally deserves being released as a single at last. On the B-side, a cover of a lesser known but fine Beatles song 'I'll Be Back' featured on the Beatles '65 album. Though this gem sounds 100% like a Paragons song through and through, with gorgeous harmonies being served on an upbeat Rocksteady rhythm, complete with thumping bass and powerful horns. Brilliant."

"Carl 'Ras' Dawkins was born on 1st August 1948 in Spanish Town, Jamaica, the son of a jazz drummer. In 1967, at the tender age of 19, Carl recorded for Karl 'J.J.' Johnson some of his original compositions including 'cBaby I Love You', 'Running Shoes' and 'Hard Time' with the Carib Beats as a musical backing band. 'Baby I Love You' with 'Hard Time' on the flip were subsequently issued on two Johnson's labels (JJ Records, Sir J.J.) in 1967 in Jamaica and on the Rio label (a Doctor Bird subsidiary) in UK the same year. While 'Baby I Love You' was popular, it was the great 'Hard Time' that propelled the single to the top of the Jamaican charts. After a spell in prison for possession of marijuana, Carl recorded a collection of singles for producers such as Clancy Eccles, Lee Perry and Leslie Kong. He returned to JJ and found success again in 1970, when he recorded one of that year's best-selling singles, the superb 'Satisfaction', swiftly followed by two other major hits the same year, 'Get Together' and 'This Land' which sold heavily despite being banned by the government for its hard-hitting lyrics on the state of Jamaica at the time. During the 70s he recorded one album for Harry J -- 'Bumpity Road' -- and many great singles for a variety of record labels and producers before gradually withdrawing from the scene during the 80s. Many years later, Carl is still very much loved by its many fans around the world. He is rightly considered being one of Reggae's all-time greatest vocalists? This killer double sider is the first reissue of two super rare and outstanding tracks by the great Carl Dawkins. Both tracks have never been reissued until now. The very much in demand "I'll Make It Up" was previously released as B side to 'One Dollar Of Music' on Duke DU-3 in 1968. On the B side, the brilliant 'Hot And Sticky' was previously released on Rio R138 in 1967."

"These two avidly sought-after early Reggae tracks are quite rare. 'Splash Down' is the instrumental version of 'Sufferer' and both songs were produced by Derrick Harriott. This is the first time these two wicked tracks are released together on a 7 inch. Jamaican vocal trio, the Kingstonians were formed around 1966 by Cebert Bernard (aka Jackie Bernard) and his brother Lloyd 'Footy' Bernard, along with mutual friend Lloyd Kerr. They began their recording career with producer J.J. Johnson, but had their greatest success between 1968 and 1970 with producer Derrick Harriott, who helped steer the singles 'Singer Man' and 'Sufferer' to the top of the Jamaican charts. The Crystalites were the backing and studio band for legendary producer Derrick Harriott and included top 60s Jamaican musicians including Bongo Herman, Bongo Les, Boris Gardiner, Gladstone Anderson, Karl Bryan, and Winston Wright among others! They were extremely productive between 1968 and 1974 and recorded four albums and countless singles covering many styles from boss reggae to dub. More specifically, they recorded many wicked and awesome 'versions' of hit songs of that time."

"50 years ago, Trojan released Big Six by Judge Dread. The rest as they say is history. To celebrate this milestone, Harlem Shuffle Records is releasing two outstanding Judge Dread singles previously unavailable on vinyl. Both are strictly limited to a single pressing of 500 copies. Alexander Minto Hughes was born the 2nd of May 1945 in Kent, England. He died the 13th March 1998 on stage during a concert in Canterbury, England, suffering a heart attack. His last words were 'Let's have it for the band'. Dread met Derrick Morgan and Prince Buster among others through his job as a bouncer at London nightclubs such as the Ram Jam in Brixton. After working as a professional wrestler (under the name 'The Masked Executioner') and as a debt collector for Trojan Records, he worked as a DJ on local radio and back in the 1960s he was also sometimes employed to provide security to The Rolling Stones. He was the first white musician to score a reggae chart hit in Jamaica and is especially famous for his humorous sexually explicit lyrics. He holds a record in the Guinness Book of World Records as the artist with the most songs banned from BBC airplay. He notably lived in Snodland, Kent where he once changed the street sign to Dreadland. On this single you'll hear Dread's own 'Skinhead' on the A Side with his ode to his hometown, previously issued only in France in the mid-70s, on the B Side."

"'Popcorn' is presented on 7" vinyl for the first time ever. Originally released on The Upsetters' 1970 full-length Eastwood Rides Again this Jamaican funk instrumental by Lee 'Scratch' Perry and the Upsetters is an incredible up-tempo breakbeat instrumental, predating everybody else by years, a dancefloor bomb full of syncopated beats, bass and drums. Awesome and absolutely unstoppable! On the B Side, The Upsetters very rare 'Tight Spot' with Dave Barker on the microphone. Another deadly dance floor gem up-tempo proto dub, full of hypnotic organ, sharp guitars, with several layers of sounds completed by Barkers' manic laughs and screams. Do not miss the exotic clarinet somewhere in the background... A truly unique and magical Scratch dance floor creation!!!"

"This essential double sider was first released in 1967 on Crystal Records, the Jamaican record label owned by the famed producer Derrick Harriott. Derrick produced both songs. The single was also released on the Coxsone label in the U.K. the same year. It has never been repressed since. It is impossible to find in good conditions and very much in demand. 'That Girl' is an instant Reggae scorcher with a cracking rhythm and fun lyrics. As ever with Lloyd & Glen, it showcases outstanding vocals from the duo along with a spotless production from Derrick Harriott. On the B Side, 'You Got Me Going', a gorgeous love song with a strong 60s soul influence. Again, poignant vocals from the duo, perfectly complemented by a big horns section. Beautiful... in fact as good as the A side."

"'Mini Skirt' was initially issued in 1967 on the Jamaican COMET label and on the American BRA label and has never been released on vinyl in Europe, until now! Brilliantly produced, this mythic party dancer combines heavy frantic Rhythm and Soul, flamboyant horns, wild screaming vocals with some of the most concise lyrics ever written: 'My little woman in a miniskirt and go-go boots' Indeed, what else? Today, this ultra rare track is heavily sought after by collectors around the world, from early 'Reggay' fans, Rude Boys, Skin-heads to Mods, Soulies and '60s collectors. On the B side, 'What You've Got' was released in 1967 on the WIRL label in Jamaica and on the Doctor Bird label in the U.K as the B side for 'Feel Good Now', another great track by Lloyd & Glen. It has never been repressed on 7" vinyl since. It is an up-tempo soul dancer, this time leaning more on the Northern Soul style. Complete with a prominent beat and superb horns, the much in demand 'What You've Got' was the perfect choice for completing our Jamaican soul crossover single."

"Produced and apparently cowritten by Derrick Harriott, 'John Jones' was released in 1968 on the Bigshot label. With its unstoppable rhythm and its aggressive lyrics 'John Jones' was a major hit among the Skinhead subculture in the UK, its release on the popular Tighten Up series certainly helped the song becoming a cult track then and now. The Crystalites were Harriott's studio band and included very famous 60s Jamaican musicians e.g. Bongo Herman, Bongo Les, Boris Gardiner, Gladstone Anderson, Karl Bryan, Winston Wright among others. They were extremely productive between 1968 and 1974 recording four albums and countless singles. More specifically, they recorded many wild and awesome 'versions' of hit songs of that time e.g. 'John Jones', making 'Bombshell' easily the best choice for the B Side as it is indeed a special instrumental and an awesome cover."

"Very little is known about Roy Redmond besides the fact he recorded 4 songs and 2 singles in 1967 for Loma Records, a Warner Bros subsidiary that is well known by Norther Soul/60s Soul aficionados. Redmond's largest success is probably his soulful cover of The Beatles' 'Good Day Sunshine', considered by some as one of the best Beatles covers. His other single is a more obscure affair featuring on the A Side 'Ain't That Terrible' and on the flip 'A Change Is Gonna Come', a very fine cover of the Sam Cooke's classic -- beautiful stuff. The A-side 'Ain't That Terrible' is a stylish, up tempo, relentless Northern Soul piano stomper that will get Soul fans up and moving their moneymakers in no time! Relatively unknown, this track is on par with the greatest numbers of the genre such as Lou Pride's 'I'm Coming Home In The Morning' or Bob and Earl's 'Harlem Shuffle'. This is pure underground Northern Soul at its absolute best. To be played often and... LOUD. Keep the faith!"

"Alton Ellis was born in Kingston, Jamaica into a musical family including his younger sister, reggae singer Hortense Ellis. He was a man of many talents, he was a dancer before becoming a singer, writer, producer, record shop and label owner. Through his 50 years career, Alton never stopped singing. Through his five decades in Reggae music, Alton scored some massive reggae and ska hits, but there is one Jamaican music that really defined him: Rocksteady. He released the first Rocksteady song aptly called 'Get Ready - Rocksteady' on the first Rocksteady album also named 'Get Ready Rock Steady.' Harlem Shuffle now presents two of their favorites from Alton Ellis. The hard to find cut 'Pumping In' is on the A Side. Sometimes mistitled 'Puping In', this song original release is a bit of a mystery... As far as we can track, it was published for the first time on the 2013 compilation Alton Ellis Mr Soul Of Jamaica on the Treasure Isle label and on two CD compilations on the Doctor Bird label and that's it. This cracking up-tempo track from 1970 has a heavy guitar work, a killer organ and some real gutsy vocals to boot. The sound and rhythm are quite different from Ellis previous songs and, sign of time, have a distinctive Boss Reggae feel and it really rocks! 'Pumping In' is an absolute gem that has been badly overlooked up to now. On the B Side, it's 'Knock On Wood', the Eddy Floyd mega hit. Alton covered this cut more on more than once occasion. The Studio One/Coxsone Dodd is more common, this version produced by Joe Gibbs is a bit more raw, and has never issued on 7" vinyl until now."

"These two avidly sought-after early reggae tracks have been extracted from the 1970 Sufferer album. They are extremely rare on 7" vinyl and sought after by collectors and reggae fans alike. A mint copy of 'Hold Dow' can fetch over 500 Euros, if you can find one... Jamaican vocal trio, the Kingstonians were formed around 1966 by Cebert Bernard (aka Jackie Bernard) and his brother Lloyd 'Footy' Bernard, along with mutual friend Lloyd Kerr. They began their recording career with producer J.J. Johnson, but had their greatest success between 1968 and 1970 with producer Derrick Harriott, who helped steer the singles 'Singer Man' and 'Sufferer' to the top of the Jamaican charts. An LP of the Harriott material was released in 1970 under the title Sufferer. The album was the career high point for the Kingstonians, who left Harriott to work briefly with producers Leslie Kong and Rupie Edwards before breaking up as the roots reggae era began. With 'Hold Down', The Kingstonians presented an outstanding track with great vocals, tight lyrics and a rhythm guaranteed to get those brogues tapping! This gem quickly became a genuine anthem right next to the likes of '54-46 Was My Number' or 'Moon Hop' and yet has never been repressed on 7-inch vinyl. On the B-Side you'll find 1969's single from The Kingstonians, 'Nice Nice.' This is another cracking uptempo track, very typical of The Kingstonians & Derrick Harriott's production at that time and a perfect flip side for the A Side anthem."
