hey folks,
just wanted to spread the good word about a forthcoming reissue on seattle-based light in the attic records surrounding the canadian reggae scene and one of its first black-owned reggae recording studios.

http://lightintheattic.net/releases/summerrecords/

in preparation for the full blown release, stoked to share that LITA have just posted the summer sound in canada film on youtube in three parts–all original unseen footage of the toronto reggae community shot between 1979-1982 (featuring jerry brown, jackie mittoo, willi williams, stranger cole, noel ellis, members of ER&W, etc...)...
please enjoy and let us know what you think,
sipreano
-the dual disc CD/DVD (more info, tracklisting, etc... below) will be released on september 25th, 2007 (itunes before hand w/ bonus material). 2LP set to follow...
-much thanks to jerry brown and summer records family!!!

noel was born in 58 so he was likely hovering around 20 then... he looks so young to me... he still looks young today...

The YT vids are great.

The cd release will be a scorcher, check it.
Adrian Miller's & Jerry Brown's tunes are wickeddddddddddd.

Hopefully Light In The Attic will release a part 2 after this one.
