Artist:	PRINCE JAZZBO
Title:	Versions
Label:	BASIC REPLAY (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	BRUJ 001EP

"Four riveting, deeply grooving digital-dub productions for his own Ujama label by the great deejay Prince Jazzbo -- widely celebrated for such toasts as 'Imperial I,' 'Mr Harry Skank' and 'Natty Passing Through Rome' for the likes of Coxsone Dodd, Glen Brown and Lee Perry. From the late '80s, sides like these announced a new era in reggae. Replay Version sets the mood here -- malevolent, sick and paranoid, but haunting, and funky like a train, with cruelly brilliant effects; really a stunning piece of music." Tracks: "Replay Version" / "Once Bitten Version" / "Senci Addick Version" / "Senci Pipe."

Title:	Mr. Funny
Label:	PRESSURE SOUNDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	PS 030CD

"The 30th release on Pressure Sounds gives the opportunity to showcase the talents of one of Jamaica's premier DJs. Prince Jazzbo was born in Clarendon, Jamaica in 1951. He recorded and produced for his own labels Ujima and Mr. Funny, but first came to prominence with the album Natty Passing Through for producer Lee Perry. Jazzbo recorded for Studio One with the collection Choice of Version and was a fixture on the always competitive Jamaican sound system scene. His on-vinyl clash with I Roy has gone down as one of the legendary clashes in musical folklore. This collection was instigated by longtime Jazzbo fan Adrian Sherwood, and we have 17 of his best cuts gathered on Mr. Funny. Sleeve notes by Noel Hawks and the usual high quality artwork and photography means that this is another heavyweight Pressure Sounds collection."
