The Way How You Walk

The late foundation deejay U-Roy recorded The Seven Gold at Michael Carroll's Creative Sounds Studio in Kingston (with assistance from engineer, and singer & producer in his own right, Paul Davidson) for Prince Jazzbo's Ujama imprint - with the LP then seeing the light of day on the label in 1987, and now a reissue on Death Is Not The End sub-label 333.It features the late, great Ewart Beckford appearing on a range of killer Jazzbo-produced late-80s digitap rhythms - from the inspired Replay version on 'Holo Gow', to the updated digital take on the Heavenless rhythm on 'Jah Jah Call You' and his take on Horace Ferguson's Sensi Addict in 'Musikal Addick'. The bulk of these rhythm tracks were performed by revered multi-instrumentalist Tyrone Downie (a long-time member of Bob Marley & The Wailers since the mid 70s) alongside Tony "Asher" Brissett - another massively undersung session musician perhaps most notable for laying down the initial Sleng Teng rhythm track for Jammys in 1984.

2 dubs from the outstanding Arkology's Blueprint album - mixed by Aba-Shanti-I and first released on Positive Beat Records in 1994."The two heavy steppers impress with great energy, bizarre chanting sounds and a deep vocal snippet by Ras T on "In the Valley Dub". The cutting snare drumsand crisp percussions of the "Reparation Dub" are virtually driving you forward, carried by bassline and melodies in a mid 90s Philip 'Fatis' Burrell style!"This is the 2nd release from Arkology on Ace Tone records.

Continuing our Park Heights series, here's another all killer no filler compilation LP in DKR style. Ten great tracks from Park Height's productive late '80s period, where Mr. Francis produced a lot of great early digital reggae both in Jamaica and right here in NYC. We've selected eight great never before reissued tracks from the catalog, plus two previously unreleased gems. As always, housed in a fresh jacket with the vibes of the time.
