with all the reissue labels around, (Trojan, Pressure Sounds, Blood and Fire, etc) what songs/albums/artists would you like to see get the reissue treatment ?

for me, it would have to be

1: a Grove Music compilation
2: an Aswad compilation of songs recorded at Channel One on there own Simba label
3: an Aswad compilation of B sides (Covenant Dub, Stranger, Love Fire Dub etc...)

i think militant barry needs one! no joke.

i dont think aswad ever recorded for channel one i think all their productions were made in london .

but i personally think these need to come back to the market:

1. a compilation of all earth & stones singles
2. cultural roots - drift away from evil
3. the interns - detour
4. the viceroys - brethren n sistren (a must)
5. the viceroys - chancery lane
6. black sounds uhro - love crisis
7. black slate - sirens in the city


my opinion resepct everyone
jah bless........

Hi arize_rootsman

If you are talking about reissue on CD I have just bought "Black Sounds of Freedom" and it contains both "Black Sounds of Freedom" and "Love Crisis" albums.

Apologies, if that wasn't the album you were referring to.

Just to name a few things that I would enjoy a lot


Revolutionaries : Satta Dub Strictly Roots (Well Charge)
Ronnie Davis : Beautiful People From Jamaïca (DIP)
Cimarons : 12" Compilation
Naggo Morris : 12" Compilation
Ronnie Davis : 12" Compilation
Ranking Joe : Best Of Ranking Joe (TR International)
Trinity : Showcase (Burning Sounds)
Willie Lindo & Dean Fraser : Double Dynamite (Crystal)
Prince Ras Murray : Militant Dread (Third World)

all lps reissues with bonus tracks of course

One Love

how about the entire vista sounds catalogue.

also, a Black Slate compilation, complete with extended tracks and dubs !!

arize rootsman hit the nail on the head. I also want to see all of those reissues, especially brethren and sistren.

I don't care what gets reissued as long as they master / remaster them properly.

Too many reissues are awful quality. Like the Jetstar re-issues of some King Tubby stuff that are nothing more than a Vinyl LP badly recorded onto CD - clicks and pops and all - might just as well buy the LPs and do it yourself.

Yeah, I know I am a vinyl bore - but good reggae deserves careful treatment when being reissued.

I would like to see a reissue of a LP from 1982 with Junior Reid on vocals.
