{"product_id":"reggae-power-2","title":"Reggae Power","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy the close of the Sixties, record retailer and jukebox businessman Karl ‘J.J.’ Johnson was firmly established as one of Jamaica’s leading record producers, having released a string of best-selling rock steady and proto-reggae 45s by such noted local acts as Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, the Rulers, Carl Dawkins, the Kingstonians and the Ethiopians. Early in 1969, a lucrative agreement with British record label, Trojan, emboldened the ambitious entrepreneur to release an album comprising a dozen of his latest recordings in the new reggae style. Entitled \u003ci\u003eReggae Power,\u003c\/i\u003e the LP was dominated by regular hit-makers, the Ethiopians, whose recent singles had proved so popular in Britain that the group had been prompted to make a promotional tour of the country. Their trip led to Trojan dramatically reworking the \u003ci\u003eReggae Power\u003c\/i\u003e long-player for its UK release, replacing all but two non-Ethiopians tracks with further J.J.-produced works by the trio, before issuing it in new artwork. But with the Ethiopians collection already available on the Doctor Bird CD, \u003ci\u003eReggae Power and Woman Capture Man\u003c\/i\u003e, it is the Jamaican version of the album that provides the inspiration for this exciting double-disc compilation, which collects the bulk of J.J. Johnson’s output from 1968 to 1972, including numerous reggae hits and 17 recordings new to CD.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDISC ONE: REGGAE POWER 1968-1970\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDANCE UP THE REGGAE - Roy Shirley\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMIX IT UP - The Kingstonians\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLOVE IS NOT YOUR GAME - V.
