Brand new album from the Upsetter covering the period from 1968 to 1973.

Classic music from one of the true greats of Instrumental music.

The mighty 'Scratch' gets busy again with Pressure Sounds. Dubs, Instrumentals and some stunning vocals much of it never been released before. Top stuff even if we do say so ourselves.

This hand silk screen printed version of 'The Return of Sound System Scratch' has an alternative front and back design from the regular album.

The Uniques, featuring Slim Smith, were one of the most popular and enduring vocal harmony groups of the rock steady era. All the tracks on this set are newly re-mastered with eighteen tracks on the CD and fourteen on the vinyl. There is a strictly limited (to 150 copies) hand printed and individually numbered silk screen printed version. An instant collectors item.

A revolutionary producer at his very best. Twenty cuts of musical mayhem, some that you will be familiar with and many that you may never heard before, featuring The Upsetter in his prime. Lovingly packaged with photos from Dennis Morris.

An obscure dub album that briefly surfaced in the early eighties on the US imprint ‘Jammys Records’ which is now rrightly regarded as a minor masterpiece of Jammy’s mixing style. Ten tracks on the vinyl release and two bonus tracks on the CD.

Delroy Wilson as you have never heard him before. Remixed by Prince Jammy and executive-produced by Bunny ‘Striker’ Lee. A remix album from before the genre had become part of popular culture.

‘Pleasure Dub’ is a record we have wanted to release for a long, long time and we are all delighted to be able to finally add a Treasure Isle album to the Pressure Sounds catalogue.

I Roy and Prince Jazzbo are the principal players here aided and abetted along the way by an assorted bunch of onlookers and minor characters with Bunny 'Striker' Lee as the producer of all but one of the tracks.

Joe Higgs' ‘Life Of Contradiction’ album is, without doubt, one of the most seminal reggae records of all time.

Bim Sherman is one of the great unsung heroes of Jamaican roots music. 'Tribulation’ (Down In Jamdown 1974 to 1979) features a stunning selection of some of the rarest, most sought after and exciting singles from Bim Sherman at his creative peak.

Something a little different from Lee Perry's Black Ark studio with Wayne 'Native' Jobson.

One of our best selling albums available again on double vinyl.

Produced by Jammy in the late seventies and never available since... Jammy himself described unearthing the original master tapes as like "finding gold".

Phil Pratt's Jon Tom label was comprised completely of concentrated creativity and these tunes are guaranteed a rapturous reception whenever they are played out at revival dances.

Pressure Sounds’ second foray into the rock steady era is 'Red Bumb Ball' a twenty two track collection of some of the most beautiful and well crafted rocksteady music ever made.

If any one individual can be credited with being the catalyst for English reggae and dub then Dennis Bovell is that man. From the mid seventies onwards he has been at the centre of the English reggae scene.

A unique set in that much of it has never before been released on CD and was only ever previously available on rare seven and twelve inch vinyl.

'Divine Madness ...Definitely' is is a two CD package with one of the discs devoted to an hour's worth of music. The second CD features a twenty five minute interview with Lee 'Scratch' Perry himself.

This collection is representative of the more experimental side of Channel One's output showcasing a selection of sixteen dubs and instrumentals from this innovative and inventive studio from the period between 1974 and 1979.

Produced by Prince Far I and aided and abetted by Adrian Sherwood 'Cry Tuff Dub Chapter One' is one of the all time great dub albums.

'Kool Roots', initally released in1978, collates most of the Earth & Stone's songs for the Channel One label with blistering dubwise versions.

This compilation was initiated by Lee 'Scratch' Perry when he called Steve Barker and Roger Eagle on the telephone and said "Roger and Steve, make Lee Perry some money for Christmas Eve..."

Prince Far I was pursuing new goals here as he set about investing his earnings in yet more recordings... able now to fulfil an ambition to concentrate on producing his own records and those of other artists too.
