[Jason Allen]

Does anyone know of any other websites besides the following that allow artist to directly sell and be compensated for their music:
www.earlzero.com
www.leroysibbles.com
www.burningspear.net
www.williwilliams.com
Please feel free to add to the list.

See the Roots Archive Artist Links/website:

Or try http://www.reggaetrain.com Lotsa information on anything reggae related there. Whole heap of information.
Also, MYSPACE is very easy to track artist websites. When you click on artists page, just click on anyone you see you want to link with.
If you want LIVE TOUR DATES, register with www.pollstar.com They email you venues to the artists yo type in you looking forward to seeing.

Thanks for the links Rootsgal and Lion. Checked both out-very good information. Some of the artist websites listed on the RA page are no longer around, however.
I'm trying to get a list of artists' websites that do their own sales where they get to send out and make profit from their music. So many times I think people (like me) buy elsewhere for the same price (or more) and the artists gets very little.
Also, this way cuts out the middle man.
Besides Earl Zero, Leroy Sibbles, and Willi Williams sites offer albums that can't be found elsewhere.
Anyhow, one more to add to list of Reggae artist stores, the Twinkle Brothers:
www.twinklemusic.com

Any other roots reggae musicians who are bringing their stuff back by opening their own websites?

Thanks, Lion, VERY nice site. Lots of good MP3 material (especially the Cornell Campbell album).
Since we're talking about Linval; I was surprised to find out that Linval is now in charge of Junjo's estate and licensing.
Anyhow, here's one more website with a direct store:
Clinton Fearon's

Some great websites.
To my opinion please avoid ordering at Earl Zero.

What's the problem with Earl Zero, Rasralo?

[rasralo]

Leggo Rocker,
I ordered some CD's from Earl Zero.
Some I did not get - instead I got live-recordings - not knowing it before the package came in.
All CD's are burnt CDR's in - let's say mediocre sound quality.
Booklets in poor quality.
But that is only my personal experience - I was very disappointed. I am very sorry that I must say that.
As an artist EARL ZERO is one of my favourites.

Regards
