* A welcome reissue of Jah Warrior’s 1998 album `Dub From the Heart Part 2’.
* A venture into raw dub-wise territory with samples galore and weighty bass-lines built for sound system and annoying the neighbours.
* Produced by Jah Warrior and mixed by Dougie Wardrop from Conscious Sounds studio,
* Limited to 500 copies only.
* Originally released on the Abba Jahnoi label in 1993, `Jah is Version’ is one of the holy grail’s of the UK roots reggae and dub scene.
* A raw and minimalist production style from Danny Red and crew with a stripped down dub version.
* Other versions and re-recordings of this track have emerged, but this is the original and best.
80s dancehall, Imo Jawara production
Orange Marbled Vinyl
Limited Edition repress of Punch Drunk classic.
* Bristol music Godfather Rob Smith (Smith & Mighty) was a major force in the 1st wave Bristol Dubstep scene, not only as a huge musical influence on the likes of Pinch and Peverelist but also as a producer in his own right. This typically dubwise 12' is one of his best from that era, repressed for 2016.
To celebrate 20 years of the record label Jamaican Recordings,Jah Floyd has cut a track telling the story of its beginnings and the people involved. The initial meeting of legendary Reggae producer Bunny `Striker’ Lee in Jamaica and the various artists that became part of the labels catalogue. Such greats as Tapper Zukie, Niney The Obsever, Black Solidarity producer Ossie Thomas. Artists and Producers who music helped define the labels sound. A great collection of releases for all involved alongside its other label Kingston Sounds.
What would have been the labels 20th year and Bunny Lee’s 80th birthday celebrations have sadly been curtailed by the sad passing of Mr Lee in late 2020.
But makes this 500 only 7’’ all the more poignant and comes with a dub version as its B-Side,which for the Reggae label Jamaican Recordings the dub versions was its driving force.
As the track says in its lyrics… `Hope you enjoy the ride respect… Jah Floyd’.
Reissue of 1984 Gorgon
