For their latest missive, Rock A Shaka have decided to offer up a new pressing of The Chosen Few's early '70s classic "I Love The Way You Love", a slab of languid, soulful sunshine recorded at a time when reggae as we know it today (rather than rocksteady or ska) was still a nascent musical form. While the original vocal version has featured on a number of the Jamaican band's albums over the years, the accompanying flipside "Version" by producer Prince Tony Robinson AKA The Groove Master has previously been frustratingly hard to find. It's worth picking this up just to get it, as Robinson's additional musical flourishes - think Tommy McCook style sax, fluttering flute solos and harder rhythm guitar - lift the band's fine riddim to even higher heights.

Two cracking uptempo 69' recordings from The Gaylads produced by Byron Lee at Dynamic Studios, originally released on Trojan Records in the U.K.

Depuis son premier album en 2011, Hollie Cook s’est imposée en matière de reggae revival de cette décennie. La protégée de Prince Fatty s’est rapidement démarquée du lot pour son mélange de reggae et de tropical-pop notamment parce qu’elle fut membre du groupe The Slits, ce qui explique cela. Quatre ans après son second album remarquable nommée Twice, l’éternelle fille de Paul Cook (batteur des Sex Pistols) a décidé d’effectuer un grand saut en signant chez Merge Records pour son troisième opus nommé Vessel of Love.
