The uniform of the skinheads consisted of boots, braces, button down shirts and jeans and the upbeat reggae sounds seemed to match the style perfectly. The tempo of the music in Jamaica had previously slowed down from the more up tempo beat of Ska to the calmer pace of beat called Rock Steady. Some say this was to match the extreme heat wave that was hitting the island between 1966 and 1968. But that period had now passed and the evolution of the Reggae beat had again found a new pulse to hang its songs by. A more up tempo beat that all Jamaicans, British youths and various pockets of people around the world could groove to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKingston Sound have selected a cross section of tunes from those heady times, so sit back and enjoy some of the tunes the youths were listening to when the Skinhead Shuffle was all the rage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea1\/1 What A Cute Man - Max Romeo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea2\/2 Do Your Thing - Roland Alphonso \u0026amp; Don Lee\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea3\/3 Boss Cocky - The Hotrod All Stars\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea4\/4 The Whip - Winston Williams\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea5\/5 Earthquake - Winston Scotland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea6\/6 Joe Lewis - Bunny Lee All Stars\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea7\/7 Walk Through This World - Doreen Schaffer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eb1\/8 Call On Me - U Roy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eb2\/9 Welcome To Reggae City - Val Bennet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eb3\/10 Devil’s Playground - Bunny Lee All Stars\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eb4\/11 Run For Cover - Lee Perry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eb5\/12 In The Mood For Horns - Roland Alphonso\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eb6\/13 Chain Gang - Winston Francis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eb7\/14 The Vow - Slim Smith \u0026amp; Doreen Schaffer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e15 Cute Man - Vin Gordon*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e16 Lonely Still - Alva Lewis*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e17 Day Dream - Glen Adams*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e18 Out Of Love - Dave Barker*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*CD Bonus Tracks\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kingston Sounds","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50380144542027,"sku":"2205454","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50380144214347,"sku":"2205452","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/KSCD091_dae9a841_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726209161"},{"product_id":"suedehead-reggae-classics-1971-1973","title":"Suedehead - Reggae Classics 1971 - 1973","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Suedehead sound of the early 70’s followed the Skinhead style of the 1968-70 period.

The beat had slowed right down to suit the followers of the sound system dances of which it had taken its name. They demanded a slower rhythm to strut their stuff to and dancehall supplied it with great enthusiasm. The dancehall period has always been aligned with the digital sound of the drum machine.

The beat had already slowed down to the one-drop snare sound that allowed the dj's more room to express their thoughts on everyday life. Songs also found room to breathe in this bass and drum arena. You could call this the early period in dancehall culture before the digital rhythm opened up the sound to one and all who wanted to express themselves and now the technology allowed them entry. Kingston Sounds have taken this early period when groups like Soul Syndicate and the Roots Radics were working this slowed down rhythm in fine form and just as the first touches of the drum machine was showing itself. One producer who was right on his game at the very start of dancehall was Ossie Thomas under his production umbrella Black Solidarity.

Such names as Triston Palmer, Robert French, Papa Levi, Puddy Roots, Earl B, all cut their musical teeth under his guise.

It was mainly as selectors to the tracks on the Sound Systems with a few vocal embellishments to instrumental cuts that they provided and their work stayed mainly confined to the dances. The craze kicked off in 1969 when D.J. King Stitt (Winston Spark), cut some popular sides like ‘Fire Corner’ and ‘Herbsman Shuffle’ for producer Clancy Eccles, the success of which got noticed. But it was the originator as he was called U ROY (B.Ewart Beckfort,1942, Kingston, Jamaica) that kick started the DJ artform. After a time toasting for Doctor Dickies Dynamic System and Sir Coxsones Downbeat and having moved in 1969 to join King Tubby’s Home Town Hi-Fi Sound System that producer Arthur ‘Duke’ Reid, decided to take him into the studio. The resulting releases like ‘Wake the Town’ and ‘Rule the nation’ would see him top the Jamaican charts in 1970. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe producer to capitalise most on the DJ explosion was Bunny Lee. As the saying goes ‘If D.J. were your Trade.’ during the seventies you must have cut tracks with him.Using his vast catalogue of hits by such vocalists as John Holt, Delroy Wilson, Johnny Clarke, Cornell Campbell, as his back drop. Along with rhythms built at studio’s like Randy’s, Dynamic and Channel 1, he produced hit after hit. ’Striker‘ as he was nicknamed ruled the D.J. form from 1970 - 1977 until the wind would blow the changes and reggae take another turn in it’s evolving history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt’s from this great period that we have compiled this Killer set by all the leading names in the DJ Arena. U Roy who lead the way is represented by two of his finest cuts. His protege I Roy (Roy Reid), who would take over running King Tubby’s Sound System, although initially inspired by U Roy would soon develop his own style. Like on ‘Baby Girl Dub’ featured here. DJ vocal sparing is represented by Prince Jazzbo (B.Linval Carter,1950, Jamaica) whose mike attack against the for mentioned I Roy on ‘Run \u0026amp; Go Hide the Dub’ is a fine example.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kingston Sounds","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50437048500555,"sku":"162686","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50437048893771,"sku":"162685","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/195ae0ed-f50d-468b-8c10-61d3be194b8b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726924992"},{"product_id":"dubbing-at-randy-s-1969-1975","title":"Dubbing At Randy's 1969-1975","description":"\u003cp\u003eRandy’s Studio 17, North Parade, Kingston, Jamaica, in the heady days of the early 70’s was one of the main focal points for Reggae Music. All the top Producers loved the sound the Studio gave and used it in favour over the bigger established Studios of the time. Federal, WIRL, Coxsone’s Studio 1 and JBC were it’s competitors and although they were in many ways better equipped, they came to Randy’s to get THAT SOUND. Many reggae classics were laid down here including some of Bob Marley’s early and some say finest work. Randy’s record outlet opened for business in 1959 run by Vincent Chin on the corner of East street and Tower street before moving to it’s present address in 1961. The shop was proving to be very successful and played an important part in distributing the hits of the day. When these records usually imported from the U.S.A. became increasingly harder to obtain, the logical step seemed to be to branch out into Production. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo in 1969 Randy’s Studio 17, named after one of the American outlets that used to supply the above mention records, opened in rooms above the retail outlet. Initially built for their own use, but due to pressure from Producers who were crying out for studio time, the studio became available for hire. The demand being so high that on it’s opening, Producer\/Manager Danny Sims booked it out for two months solid. Vincent’s son Clive Chin [born 14 May 1956, Kingston, Jamaica] took over the running of the studio working alongside engineer Errol ‘Errol T’ Thompson, who on his arrival completely rebuilt the studio. Over the next six years prior to his moving on to work with Producer Joe Gibbs, ’Errol T‘ would be responsible for engineering most of the recorded product at Randy’s. We concentrate here on the work of Producer Bunny Lee who was by far the most prolific at Studio 17.

But Niney’s fearlessness seen him over running and in many cases running the all night sessions with his trusted set of musicians loosely called The Soul Syndicate. Having the run of the mighty Channel One studio's allowed Niney to build up and work on a stockpile of rhythms that he still has yet to unleash on the world. We have been lucky to select a bunch of material from Niney's vaults for this release. Some great unreleased rhythms and some different cuts to some tracks you might already know. Niney's work with Dennis Brown and his own distinctive heavy roots style productions have been documented and indeed his work on Channel Ones Yellowman releases stand tall also.

Tunes that suited the musical styles that the people of Jamaica still enjoyed. By the late 1960’s thse supremacy was being challenged by the up and coming new producers on the scene, Lee Perry being one, and the other being ‘Ghost of the Studios’ himself, Bunny Lee. Bunny ‘Striker’ Lee may have inherited the moniker ‘Striker’ from his liking of a particular TV show called ‘The Hitch-Hiker’, but it would soon stand also for the considerable hits he would obtain as he was declared producer of the year in Jamaica in 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972. For this release, Kingston Sounds have compiled many of the great Studio hits that Bunny Lee recorded with the singers that had originally cut at the famed Studio 1. Bunny Lee’s sprinkling of magic over some classic tunes....the sound of Studio 1 backed up this time Bunny ‘Striker’ Lee’s set of star musicians The Aggravators. Proving you can’t keep a good tune down, or a great producer pushing forward.....Bunny Lee strikes back.... \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD - 18 Tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - 14 Tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kingston Sounds","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50463908856139,"sku":"1015776","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50463910429003,"sku":"1015775","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/254c31e8-2191-4491-b9b6-1477a16a1e26_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727268373"},{"product_id":"black-solidarity-version-excursion","title":"Black Solidarity Version Excursion","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the beginning of the eighties reggae music became increasingly in tune with what was happening in Kingston’s dance halls... probably more so than at any time since the sound system operators had started to make their own shuffle and boogie recordings in the late fifties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe international audience and the critics were too busy looking for a new \u003cem\u003eBob Marley\u003c\/em\u003e to appreciate what was happening downtown and failed to acknowledge that this was a return to the real, raw roots of the music.
