ok that's just my opinion, but i would like to put on the spotlight on a record that i am sure is destined to become a classic

...in case someone doesn't know this opera, i am talking about the **CULTURAL ROOTS SHOWCASE LP** on **M RECORDS**...a limited edition record pressed in **1000 units**, feauring tunes from **michael rose, admiral tibett, mikey general** and 3 mighty tunes from the ever powerful dj **ranking joe**...six bombs playing all in showcase stylee...

...this vinyl is a must have for everyone who really love 70s roots, produced unbelivably in 21st century by this man, **RYAN MOORE**, that in my opinion deserve too much respect and support...i still have to dig into his endless **TWILIGHT CIRCUS** albums saga, but as far as i am concerned what i've heard is enough to state that he is one of the best producer around, if not the best, nowadays... very difficult to tell it with my own words, but i think it's impossible to find elsewhere arrangements of this intensity in many ages of reggae...

...why i opened this thread ???
...because there are only 1000 copies worldwide, in plain sleeve and manually numbered, and it seems like one of this 1000 is coming on my way...so **NOW** i don't risk to run of of it.... lol

...so **ROOTS ARCHIVE MASSIVE**, listen to this record in whatever way possible (mp3?) and run to get this milestone gem... one day it will be really sought after!

**I WOULD BE GLAD TO SEE EVERYONE ALREADY HAVING THIS LP (OR ALL THOSE WHO PURCHASED IT AFTER READING THIS THREAD) TO LIST THE NUMBER OF HIS COPY ON THIS THREAD, THANKS!!!**

ps: the Cd version features a bonus track, sung by prince alla, that is absolutely a killer steppas tune !! ...if i receive feedback from you i will open a petition thread to convince MR MOORE to issue it on 10" !!! ...why all this heartfelt support from me ?? ...because his music is HEAVY !! belive it !!

WOW ! 48 hours and nobody replied !!

i feel HEAVY frustation !!!

can i belive nobody already have this album ??
can i belive i didn't catched anyone fancy ??

nobody downloaded this album to verify if the man speaking right now is just an howling mad??

...this is the link to get soundclips from the above mentioned album, 3 minutes each, so with dubs omitted...

I think it is ok. Shaka zulu by joe is alright, and the mikey general cut is nice.

I can't download it as the free capacity got used up before I got there!

I'll try again later.

Will download the clips when i can get it to finish

I have a quick listen, to be honest nothing grabbed me immediately, tomorrow as usual im studying through the day so i'll run through the tracks properly and im sure they will grab me more.

fair enough after listenin to it, its caught me, i'll have to pick it up somewhere, Any idea on wheres it on sale and price? (vinyl ver)

sendspace is one of those bad upload sites, that try to trick people 'full capacity' 'try again tommorow' that kind of nonsense. People will visit the site again and again , so they make more money on adds and pageviews.

try rapidshare for example next time,

and the fact that M-Records only pressed 1000 copies is just a classic marketing trick btw

what do u mean bonga, i think it's a genuine number...maybe the trick is that it is explicited and clearly claimed, as many other records are pressed in such few copies without advertising it, is this what u mean ?? ...next time rapidshare for sure anyway.....

@bullit : FOR NOW, the album is available almost everywhere, all serious reggae webshop have it in stock, and i ever forgotten to say that it is usually sold at the price of a common 12"

why this great music has to take dust on the shelters??
M RECORDS is a honest project...will tell u more in the future, very soon...
