ELY COMBO	Shaft	7"	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 45128EP
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 Eliseo Pech was a saxophonist born into a family from Yucatán, Mexico, with deep musical roots. He later settled in Quintana Roo, in southern Mexico, close to the border with Belize. From there came the strong influence of ska and reggae. In the early 1970s, he formed the band Ely Combo, which was soon joined by Belizean singer Anthony Jones. Together they recorded only a couple of albums, packed with covers of reggae and funk hits. This single brings together two of those tracks: Isaac Hayes' classic "Shaft," and the dancefloor favorite "Express Yourself," originally recorded by Charles Wright & The Watts 103rd St. Rhythm Band.

FLYING HATS, THE	Ups	CD	ATA RECORDS	ATA 046CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 They say you've got to take your ups with your downs, but that's only because "they" haven't heard Ups, the second LP by The Flying Hats, which is all ups and no downs whatsoever. The album arrives little more than a year after debut long player The Return of the Flying Hats and mere months after the release of an instant classic 45 single featuring non-album tracks "The Blender" and "Hot Cakes." So it's fair to say that Ups finds the band riding the crest of an extremely funky Hammond-infused retro-reggae wave. Indeed, it's tempting to say not just "riding the crest of" but "increasing said wave's actual mass" -- for the new set delivers a second floor-shaking helping of a sound that joins the dots between Aggrovators-style reggae and Meters-style funk. Opener "Lightning Bottle" kicks off with an introductory drum-fill that briefly nods to a certain Dawn Penn classic before settling into a heavy, mid-tempo, Hammond-led riddim providing instant appeal for those who lean more towards the Bunny Lee/'70s side of things. The same can be said of a trio of easy-rolling bubblers consisting of "Pinball" -- a brisk number near the start of the album's second half -- along with the wistful beauty of "So Long" and "Step Up," which close the album. Those who prefer reggae that evokes the Kingston "Sound of '69," however, will salivate over the balance of tracks which deliver no fewer than five such cuts tempered with a fat slice of New Orleans sass, reveling in deliriously joyful Hammond melodies and funky backbeats, while maintaining that offbeat reggae rhythm. "Kick About," "Double Up," and "Market Day" provide up-tempo bounce, while the clattery syncopated drums on the stripped-back skank of "Stout" and the absolutely gorgeous Hammond-funky/ boss-reggae groove of "Traffic Light" provide something a little more loose-limbed. If Allen Toussaint and The Meters had upped sticks and relocated to Kingston (or Bunny Lee and Jackie Mittoo had moved to the Big Easy) in the early '70s, it would have sounded like this.

CLARKE, GUSSIE	Dubplate Style Raw Cuts	12"	DIGIKILLER	DKR 339EP
$15.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "A little something out of the ordinary for DKR here, a four track dub 12" featuring one old and three new mixes, the latter done in excellent faithful fashion to the sound and Music Works dubplate style of their time. Junior Moore's 'Atlantis' is one of our favorite Gussie tunes, very underrated and under the radar. For the other three tracks, these are new mixes done from the original multi track tapes, in faithful style to the way they would have come on dubplate for sound systems, right out of Gussie's original Music Works studio on Slipe Road. If you like the spare, raw drum and bass style of the Taxi label, or the early '80s sound of Channel 1, these mixes will be right up your alley. These two early Hopeton Lindo roots tracks should be familiar to hardcore roots heads. The Pam Hall is another sleeper cut, a dark lovers take on the Stylistics' soul classic, which gets harder and moodier when stripped back like this -- indeed some raw rhythm cuts of this one were played by sounds like Jah Shaka."

LINDO, HOPETON	On the Balcony	7"	DIGIKILLER	DKR 292EP
$9.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "First time on 7" for this killer dark lovers cut that appeared on the Parish showcase showdown album with Hopeton & Robert Ffrench. Recorded and mixed at Channel 1 in the mid '80s, these tracks ended up on the aforementioned LP which didn't make it out until '87. The style is the heavy live sound of that last moment before digital took over, quite like the Gifted Roots Band or Music Mountain studio style."

VA	Listen Up! Roots Reggae (Green Vinyl)	LP	KINGSTON SOUNDS	KSLP 035G-LP
$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 Welcome to the roots reggae sound. A period in reggae's history that followed the two year supremacy of rocksteady, that began to tail off around the end of 1968. The reggae sound many say did not come initially from the chop of the guitar but from the stabs from the keyboard/organ that produced that jeggae/jerking feel. The roots element can be heard in the heartfelt lyrics and the stories told in the songs. So sit back and enjoy some roots reggae straight from the heart of Jamaica. Featuring Johnny Clarke, Barry Brown, Cornell Campbell, Leroy Smart, Horace Andy, Linval Thompson, and Delroy Wilson.

CHAMBERS, EVERTON	Babylon You Wrong	7"	DIGIKILLER	DKR 296EP
$9.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "Another banger from Everton Chambers' awesome late '80s run with Parish. Like some other Parish releases this is right in the early digi sweet spot, with a great uptempo rhythm and sing-jay story telling lyrics. This is a long-time personal favorite of its era, and better still is that this issue is in pristine quality from master tapes, and unlike the original press, features the correct dub version. The original unfortunately had a pressing error where the wrong version side was used, and the correct version was mis-pressed on the flip of another unrelated tune (shout out to all the soldiers who hunted down the version side over the years!)."

VA	Sir Tommy's Stars 1985-1990	LP	DIGIKILLER	DKR 351LP
$23.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "10-song compilation LP. Comes with insert detailing full musician and studio credits. Howard 'Sir Tommy' Mapp is one of the original guards of New York sound men, playing sound system since 1974. Around a decade after that, he began producing for his newly formed label of the same name. Later in the 1990's he established his own studio, which became a hub of New York's dancehall scene. In true independent fashion, Tommy covered nearly every aspect of the reggae business himself, marking him firmly as a peer in the NYC scene with others who blazed a similar path, like Wackie's, Jah Life, and Philip Smart. This is the first reissue of the early gems in Tommy's catalog and makes some more classic New York reggae accessible again. So what better to start with than a new compilation, 100% heaters, culled from long unavailable singles and albums. This LP is packed with prime cuts of just such music. Absolutely essential stuff for 1980's reggae heads."

VA	Flying High: Chopper Productions 1985-1991	LP	DIGIKILLER	DKR 198LP
$23.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "A long overdue return to the Chopper label, after some singles from way back in 2010. This 12 song LP corrals all our favorites from the label. The album features a mix of early '80s style live rhythms laid at Channel 1 and some great classical late '80s digital style. Lionel Barrett was the original and perhaps the core artist of the Chopper stable, and is featured heavily here. A few of his tracks as well as a couple others here are now issued on vinyl for the first time. The remaining are retrieved from long out of press albums and singles. The jacket features a survey of all of Chopper's excellent graphic design. All told this LP is a great overview of a prolific JA-NYC connected label from dancehall's best era."
