"From East Memphis to Kingston" (05/25/1999) Reggae Various Artists, LightyearRecording information: Big Ship Recording Studios, Kingston, Jamaica; Grafton Music Complex; Sarm West, London, England; Tuff Gong. American soul music's influence on reggae has never been a secret, so the idea behind From East Memphis to Kingston is a good one: choose classic soul tunes associated with Memphis (especially the Stax/Volt and Hi labels) for various reggae artists to cover. As with most albums of this nature, some tracks work better than others, especially Third World's version of "Respect Yourself," the always soulful Toots and the Maytals' take on Al Green's "Tired of Being Alone" and a dancehall remake of "I Betcha Didn't Know That" by Chaka Demus and Pliers. ~ Steve Huey

"Punky Reggae Party: New Wave Jamaica 1975-1980" (09/24/2002) Reggae Various Artists, TrojanIncludes liner notes by Jean-Jaques Burnel. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Trojan's rejuvenated reissue campaign of 2001-2002 continued apace with Punky Reggae Party: New Wave Jamaica 1975-1980, a refreshing two-disc set of (relatively) rarely compiled tracks from a neglected era in Jamaican music. It's certainly not a rare groove party, including as it does big hits from Dennis Brown ("Man Next Door," "Money in My Pocket"), Gregory Isaacs ("Mr. Cop," "Hand Cuff [Hey Mr. Babylon]"), Bob Marley ("Natural Mystic"), and Black Uhuru ("Born Free"). Setting these off, however, are a parade of less-heard tracks by Lee Perry, Prince Far I, Sugar Minott, and Prince Jammy, among others -- many of them inspirations for the punk and British ska bands forming around the same time. Another great touch: just before the teen duo Althea and Donna's hit "Uptown Top Ranking," the compilers placed a great track using the same riddim: "Three Piece Suite and Thing" by Trinity. Productions by Perry, Joe Gibbs, Linval Thompson make up the majority of these tracks, lending the four dozen inclusions a unity of sound rarely heard on reggae compilations. ~ John Bush

"Dawning of a New Era: The Roots of Skinhead Reggae [Remaster]" (10/25/2005) Reggae Various Artists, Trojan/SanctuaryWhen the emerging skinhead youth movement in Britain turned from the bright, skipping rhythms of ska favored by the mods and began embracing the slower, more gutbucket rhythms of rocksteady and early reggae in 1968, the end result was that Jamaican reggae moved from the West Indies communities of London and straight into the headlines that were being generated by the violence-prone skinhead culture, gaining cache as a blue-collar music that actually said something about poverty, class, and social inequity. In the end, the skinheads probably helped reggae more than reggae helped them, and as punk took hold, reggae certainly wasn't late to that party, either. Trojan's two-disc Dawning of a New Era collects rocksteady and early reggae releases from 1968 and 1969, the defining point of the skinhead phenomenon, and while it is historically convenient to attach late-'60s reggae to the skinheads, it is probably best to listen to this set free of the association, since the music here is a good deal more than just the soundtrack to a British youth movement. It is distinctly Jamaican (even the handful of tracks collected here that were recorded in London), full of wheezing organs, heavy bass, whacky, echoing vocals, and an increasingly urgent need to address social and political issues. Skinhead connection aside, there are some wonderful gems in this set, including Rudy Mills' ragged "John Jones," Derrick Morgan's wry treatise on poverty, "Gimme Back," the floating, eerie instrumental "Tommy's Dream" by Tommy McCook, the almost mento-like "Wala Wala," complete with tenor banjo and sax, by the Pioneers, and the claustrophobic, echoing "Soul Scorcher," an impressive instrumental from Karl "King Cannon" Bryan & the Harry J All Stars. Also collected here are a pair of loopy Lloyd Charmers instrumentals, the odd, fascinating "5 to 5" and his alluringly seasick version of the Uniques' "My Conversation," which he retitles as "My Argument." To quote Leonard Dillon's Ethiopians, "reggae hit the town" in Britain in the late '60s, was adopted first by the skinheads, then by the punks, and remained completely and thoroughly Jamaican the whole time. Dawning of a New Era puts you right there at the epicenter. ~ Steve Leggett

"Old to the New: A Steely & Clevie Tribute to Joe Gibbs Classics" (05/23/2005) Reggae Various Artists, VP RecordsCompilation producers: Steelie & Cleevie. Includes liner notes by John Masouri. Personnel: Danny Browne (guitar); Dean Fraser (saxophone); David Madden (trumpet); Ronald "Nambo" Robinson (trombone); Robert Lyn, Wycliffe "Steely" Johnson (keyboards); Cleveland "Clevie" Browne (drums, percussion, background vocals); Dalton Browne, Richie Stephens , Rovleta Fraser (background vocals). Audio Mixers: Collin "Bulbie" York; Steven Stanley. Audio Remixers: Jeremy Harding; Murray Elias. Liner Note Author: John Masouri. Recording information: Studio 2000, Kingston, Jamaica. Editors: Jeremy Harding; Murray Elias. Reggae artists are famous for reinterpreting American hits and adding dashes of style that improve upon the originals. Old to the New: A Steely & Clevie Tribute to Joe Gibbs Classics boasts a dizzying array of these reinterpretations, except that the hits are already reggae classics by legendary producer Joe Gibbs. Steely & Clevie take raw '70s hits like "Love You Like That (Someone Loves You Honey)", a hit for sweet-voiced J.C. Lodge, and adds hot DJ Junior Kelly for a sizzling update that still stays true to the original. Other innovative pairings include Luciano and the Mighty Diamonds for a transcendent take on "Identity" and Beres Hammond and U-Roy on the sultry "Ain't That Loving You." This album is essential listening for classic reggae fans as well as newcomers. ~ Rosalind Cummings-Yeates

"The Sound of Dub: New Zealand in Dub [Limited]" (11/08/2005) Electronic Various Artists, Echo BeachPersonnel: Dallas Tamaira (vocals); Tehimana Kerr (electric guitar); Warren Maxwell (saxophone); Toby Laing (trumpet, baritone horn); Iain Gordon (keyboards). Unknown Contributor Role: Christopher "Mu" Faiumu. First, a word about what this album is not. It is not a disc of dub reggae, instead falling closer to the techno side of things, and while Mad Professor guests on the Nomad mix, "Check the Patch," don't expect to come down from this one anywhere near a dancehall in Kingston -- a chill house well after the party is over is pretty much what you'll get here. Assembled by New Zealand label Loop and released in conjunction with the German label Echo Beach, this compilation unfortunately sounds like it could have been recorded anywhere on earth that has access to drum machines and synths (which pretty much means it could have been recorded anywhere) and there isn't much particularly New Zealand in nature about it. ~ Steve Leggett

"Dawning of a New Era: The Roots of Skinhead Reggae" (08/22/2005) Reggae Various Artists, Trojan (Cityhall)The double CD set DAWN OF A NEW ERA: THE ROOTS OF SKINHEAD REGGAE features a grand total of 42 rare and much sought after tracks from artists like Rico Rodriguez, Lloyd Charmers, The Tennors, Lester Sterling, the Ethiopians, and Tommy McCook. When the emerging skinhead youth movement in Britain turned from the bright, skipping rhythms of ska favored by the mods and began embracing the slower, more gutbucket rhythms of rocksteady and early reggae in 1968, the end result was that Jamaican reggae moved from the West Indies communities of London and straight into the headlines that were being generated by the violence-prone skinhead culture, gaining cache as a blue-collar music that actually said something about poverty, class, and social inequity.
