"Jah Woosh was one of Jamaica's most distinctive early reggae deejays, emerging in the 1970s as the art of toasting became a defining part of reggae music. Born Neville Beckford in Kingston, he first gained recognition as a sound system deejay before breaking through with the powerful single 'Angela Davis.' During the mid-1970s, he recorded extensively for producers including Rupie Edwards, Clive Chin, Keith Hudson, and Channel One, releasing a string of influential singles and albums. His debut LP Jah Woosh reached number one in the reggae album charts and established him as a leading voice of the era. The album Rebellion also features vocalist Sis Bee, whose spirited responses to Jah Woosh add a unique dynamic. Later, through his work with Adrian Sherwood and the Creation Rebel collective, Jah Woosh remained an important figure in roots reggae."

"Phil Pratt (George Phillips Pratt) was an influential figure in the Jamaican music industry, recognized for his work as a producer, singer, and songwriter. Beginning his career in the 1960s as a vocalist, he soon transitioned into production, becoming an important contributor to Jamaica's golden era of reggae throughout the 1960s and 1970s. As a producer, Pratt worked with leading artists including Al Campbell, Dennis Brown, Horace Andy, and Ken Boothe, creating recordings that became foundational to the reggae genre. His production credits include notable releases such as The War Is On, as well as key tracks like Dennis Brown's 'Money in My Pocket' and Horace Andy's 'You Are My Angel.' Pratt's production legacy -- defined by his ear for melody, rhythm, and artist collaboration -- continues to hold significant influence in reggae history. Phil Pratt has since passed away, but his work remains widely respected and celebrated. Originally released by Burning Sounds in 1978, Star Wars Dub highlights Pratt's distinctive production style. This new edition faithfully reissues the album, featuring an insert with sleeve notes and pressing on limited edition 180gram Purple Transparent vinyl."

"Pressed on 180-gram vinyl; includes insert with sleeve notes.

His distinctive flow -- both confident and conversational -- rides effortlessly over the grooves, creating an atmosphere that's equal parts swagger and celebration. Backed by tight, roots-heavy production, the tracks on Girls Fiesta showcase the artist's magnetic vocal presence and natural storytelling ability, setting a high bar for the next generation of DJs who would follow in his footsteps. A cornerstone of late-'70s reggae and a snapshot of the birth of dancehall culture, Girls Fiesta remains one of Ranking Dread's most iconic releases -- a testament to his influence on the evolution of Jamaican music and the enduring power of the island's sound system tradition."

"12 Dub Classics brings together the giants of Jamaica's golden dub era in a deep, resonant collection of rhythm and atmosphere. Featuring foundational figures including The Revolutionaries, The Aggrovators, Niney & The Observers, Twelve Tribes of Israel, Ken Boothe, Gregory Isaacs, Jimmy Riley, and Phil Pratt, this LP captures the essence of the studio-as-instrument ethos that shaped the roots of reggae and sound system culture. Each cut showcases the signature production and performance brilliance of the period -- the cavernous basslines, echo-laden percussion, and swirling textures that define dub at its most transcendent. From the militant power of 'Garvey Dub' and 'Majority Rule Dub' to the cosmic sway of 'Star Wars Dub' and the soulful undertow of 'Public Eyes,' this set traces the full dynamic range of the genre. Moments like 'Jah's Children In Style,' 'Harmony Dub,' and 'Mafia Dub' reveal why the interplay between musicians and engineers such as The Revolutionaries and King Tubby's associates remains unmatched. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl and accompanied by detailed sleeve notes, 12 Dub Classics stands as an essential document for reggae collectors, sound-system selectors, and anyone devoted to the timeless pulse of dub."

"1978's Slum in Dub album re-issued on purple vinyl. Coupled with the succinct Revolutionaries band and Isaacs quality songwriting, the deconstructed cuts, weave and flow like any good quality dub album should. with some of the track names giving more than a hint of the original song title such as 'Public Eyes,' which was one of the major hits off The Cool Ruler as John Public. The dense Slum originated as 'Party In The Slum,' while the brighter 'Reform Institution' began life as 'Uncle Joe.' 'Word Of The Farmer' becomes 'Croft' and 'Tam Tam' began life as 'One More Time.' One of Gregory Isaacs's early hits, 'Black A Kill Black' is translated into 'Leaving' while 'Leggo Beast' using an updated old Studio One rhythm, 'Swing Easy,' probably refers to Trevor 'Leggo' Douglas who ran the Cash & Carry label with Isaacs. The track 'N****r' also uses an old Studio One rhythm track updated and this time it's The Heptones breezy 'Party Time' which gets the Jammy treatment as too 'Embarrassment' which again revitalizes a Studio One gem; 'Frozen Soul' by The Soul Vendors band."
