yeah this shit is really nice. i have to say, i’m jealous because reggae is one of the few styles of music i love that pittsburgh just doesn’t have in used shops. we never really had much of a carribbean immigrant thing going on here, and it shows in what actually shows up second hand.

My man! Appreciate the look!

infectious riddims jonny5! nothing beats old school roots and dub! This stuff has so many of the elements i crave in music. If the reggae forefathers listened to what masquarades under the name ‘dub’ today, i’ve no doubt they’d be moved to tears!

nice one dudes.
as far as new reggae goes, i think there is some good stuff around still, although i would say there’s nowhere near the quantity of good releases being made that there were in the 60s and 70s (and 80s). The Sip-a-Cup records stuff is worth a check. I included the Winston Sax track on the mix, that came out fairly recently and I think that track is superb.
