New Releases: Trojan calling out for original pressings?
Classic ReggaeI don't know about you but, to me, this latest call out by Trojan to collectors of original pressings sounds kind of fucked up.

They are asking for the following 7's

People Get Ready – Doctor Bird, DB-1189B
Please Stay – Doctor Bird, DB-1194A
Special Beat – Doctor Bird, DB-1194B
Mama Me Want Girl – Doctor Bird, DB-1206A
Sentry – Doctor Bird, DB-1206B
Soul Crash – Doctor Bird, DB-1207A
Throw Me Things – Doctor Bird, DB-1207B

So that they can supposedly get a better quality sound than what they have. Something about that just doesn't seem quite legal. Then again I don't live in the UK, I assume they have the rights to the Doctor Bird tunes yes? Who is going to be getting the royalties from this? Food for thought Trojan. Read the whole article below, and if you know for a fact that this is all on the level, please email me and let me know the details.

New Releases: Edi Fitzroy’s New Release “Hold The Vibes” Hits Music Charts Worldwide
Classic Reggaeadamstickbug writes "

Showcase album delivers uplifting old-school sound

 

San Francisco, CA - April 23, 2007 – King Step Recordings today announces the success of Edi Fitzroy’s new album “Hold The Vibes”. It showcases the collaboration Edi has enjoyed with a variety of musicians over the past decade. Edi explores his roots by re-creating an 80’s feel with lyrics that are uplifting and heartfelt. The album delivers the message that Edi Fitzroy is not just a performer; but an artist with a musical presence that transcends time. His songs have become a staple for Reggae enthusiasts everywhere, and “Hold The Vibes” further establishes Edi’s reputation as one of the greats. It is getting the airplay it deserves.

 

Edi commented on his music by saying, “I can’t sing fantasies when there is so much wrong on the earth. I must sing about things going on, I have to remind the people when they forget. I won’t stop trying to uplift the consciousness of my people, and all the oppressed people of the world. I want them to get up and stand up for their rights.”

 

In the past few months’ songs from “Hold The Vibes” have been hitting charts and making play lists on radio stations all over the world. Jamaica’s own Ire FM made “Hold The Vibes” the album of the month in January 2007 and Vibes FM has the album in rotation daily. The hit remake “The Gun (2006)” has been as high as No. 5 on Miami Florida’s WLRN 91.3 FM Top Ten Reggae Charts. Dj Ital K from WLRN’s popular radio show ‘Sounds of the Caribbean’ said, “Ed’s new release deserves to be charting everywhere. I get requests daily for songs from “Hold The Vibes”. It is solid music.”

 

Colorado’s KDUR (KDUR.org) “Lions Den Unlimited” radio show has had “Hold The Vibes” in their top 20 CD rotation since December 2006 and Bastafari Judah’s “Easy Skankin Roots Reggae Radio Show” in the Netherlands Antilles (PJD3 102.7 FM) loves the track “Chant Down Babylon” and plays it constantly. “Uptown Top Rankin Radio Show” in Irvine, CA and “Reggae Portugal Radio Show” (ReggaePortugal.com) has the new album in rotation. “Hold The Vibes” is also getting airplay in Toronto, New York and the San Francisco Bay Area.

 

The list goes on and on as Edi’s popularity reaches new heights. The album’s success is translating into a busy year for Edi. He is planning a US tour for Summer 2007. Look for Edi Fitzroy in a city near you soon.

 

“Hold The Vibes” can be found in better music stores in the US and online at http://wwwEdiFitzroy.com, http://www.BigUpRadio.com, http://www.CDBaby.com. Tracks from the CD can be downloaded from all major music download sites on the web.

New Releases: Major Announcement: Rhygin Records!!!!!
Classic ReggaeRhygin Records

Rhygin Records is now live and open for business.
It has been 4 years in the making getting this new record label off the ground.
We have been hailed by Turntablelab as THE JA legit record label in the U.S.. When you hear our music, you will think it is straight out of the golden age of reggae, rocksteady, and dub. Strictly rockers, no joke.

We bring you only the hardest rockers and rocksteady tunes on the highest quality vinyl available anywhere. We even use vintage cardstock from the era for our labels. This is no fly by night operation to be sure.

There are major plans already in the works to bring you some rockers tunes that will totally boggle your mind that they did not come from Jamaica and weren't recorded in the 60's and 70's.

The bands and musicians featured on the label include The Sandollars, Rhygin Rockers, and The Rhythm Doctors featuring Cedric Im Brooks.

We have 3 7 inch 45's available for purchase and a 12 inch disco dub is already being mixed down and mastered to be sent to the pressing plant. This disco dub 45 will be the head cornerstone of our foundation as a label, when it is released the ground will quake beneath your feet, it's that good.

Head on over to the site and listen to some sound samples of the records we have in stock, and get ready to be gunned down by the heavy duty sounds of our upcoming projects, I guarantee they will not disappoint, this is just the beginning so get ready. Some things that are also in the pipeline include limited edition slip mats, quality shirts and 2 LP's already underway.
