BACK IN! The fourteenth release by MOLL-SELEKTA is an essential compilation of rare, previously
on CD/LP unreleased Roots-, Lovers,- and DJ-tracks by one of the most important artists of Jamaica. Lincoln "Sugar" Minott played a major role in the history of Jamaican music as a singer, songwriter, producer, label owner and sound system instigator. His debut album "Live Loving" can lay claim to being the first Dancehall release ever. He had his biggest chart hits in a time when he was even more poular in England than back home which finally led to a contract with RCA and an appearance on "Top Of The Pops".
His singing voice is as sweet as honey and graces both Roots and Lovers Rock compositions in equal measure. Hence the nickname - although the man himself claims that he had been called that ever since his childhood love of candy. As a DJ his name is "Papa Honey", featured on the album on the track "Waiting For Your Love", together with Sister Ester.
For the first time ever, this do-CD/do-LP presents a remastered collection of Sugar's best maxisingles and single A + B-sides in extended versions. All songs are drawn from his strongest Roots-phase, an era in which the quality of his work was without parallel. The tracks were mostly recorded at the legendary Channel One Studio with the Roots Radics Band and the Black Roots Players. Included are guest appearances by Ranking Dread and Yabby You and the hits "A Slice Of The Cake" and "Dance Hall Style", here in their lesser known 1983 extended versions. Three outrageous intros round up a portrait of Sugar Minott that is way outstanding within his large number of releases.

Sugar Minott - I Remember Mama (NAD Discomix)
"Emotional Rescue presents the first ever reissue of Sugar Minott’s rare 12” of I Remember Mama. Recorded in Soho in mid-80s London, the Boogie meets Reggae song comes in vocal and instrumental mixes, as well as a wonderfully teasing long Discomix by NAD aka Dan Tyler (Idjut Boys).
Having grown up and become a star out of Kingston, JA, with over 50 albums and hundreds of singles for the likes of Studio One and Black Roots labels, the legendary vocalist was a pioneer of the Dancehall and then later Lovers Rock sounds.
Based in London for much of the 1980s, a chance meeting in the Wackies offices he met producer Steve Parr, who had recently opened the Sound Design Studio next door.
Hatching the idea to create a label to showcase their capabilities, Parr played all the instruments except the distinctive sax by friend Andy MacDonald, while Minott’s delivery is at his prime, storytelling in the Jamaica tradition of hardship and praise.
Released on 7” and 12”, they have striking differences. The “Sound Design” instrumental / version sees the studio team craft a disco meets reggae in a cod-style to wonderful, almost Balearic effect.
The collaboration with Dan Tyler continues, as he again works his desk dubbing magic. Extending and editing between the two mixes, teasing the instrumental before finally bringing the sax and vocals together for a ‘discodub’ finale. " More

Sugar Minott - Hard Times
Repress Alert!
Emotional Rescue and HMV Record Shop (Japan) end their DISCO REGGAE LOVERS 7" series with reggae legend Sugar Minott and this utterly unique UK soul-boogie rarity, I Remember Mama.
Reggae star, vocalist, producer and sound system operator, Kingston JA born Minott released over 50 albums and hundreds of singles for the likes of Studio One, Wackies, Suffering Heights and his own Black Roots label.
His distinctive soulful voice pioneered the Dancehall style and following his UK hit "Hard Time Pressure" he moved to London in 1980, adopting the rising Lovers Rock sound. On a visit to Wackies' offices in Soho he met Steve Parr, who had recently opened a studio next door.
Keyboard player for the likes of Desmond Dekker and Geno Washington, Parr moved into composition, mixing, sound engineering and production, before setting up the Sound Design Studio in Dean Street.
Principally a studio, the meeting with Minott hatched the idea to create a label to showcase their capabilities. Produced by Parr, he played all the instruments except the distinctive sax by friend Andy MacDonald.
With Minott's heartfelt lyrics, this marriage created a one-off, a ground-breaking synthesised 4/4 rhythm track with funk groove and soulful vocals. Released on 7" and 12", the versions noticeably differ and is the perfect closing to the DISCO REGGAE LOVERS series. More

2022 Repress Edition - Original Art
Many Reggae aficionados see the concentrated phase of Rock Steady between 1967 - 1969 as the Carribean's most productive era of all time. Never before had such sweet melodies, inspiring rhythms and beautiful love lyrics come together. Numerous Soul hits by the likes of Curtis Mayfield, The Impressions, The Supremes all got the bass-driven, Jamaican style treatment. "The Bunny Lee Rock Steady Years" collects some of the most essential and rarest songs of that era - in a better sound quality than ever before! It showcases a wealth of soulful singers, ranging from top acts like Slim Smith (also lead-singer in the Techniques and Uniques) or Alton Ellis to the rather unknown Cnythia Richards or Webber Sisters. All songs were produced by Bunny Lee, one of the greatest Jamaican producers, who had one Rock Steady hit after another - finally earning him the nickname "Striker".
This compilation is a valuable slice of history for Reggae and Soul fans alike, for lovers of great voices, for those who do not confuse "cool" with cold and appreciate a good love song when it comes from the heart.

2021 Repress Edition - finally available again on this CD and alternatively on 2LP Vinyl for the First time (moll16lp).
The legendary movie soundstrack based out of Kingston, Jamaica in April 2008, telling the story of the original vocalists and musicians involved.
The sixteenth release on the Moll-Selekta label shares its title with a wonderful film, a heartwarming homage to the golden age of rocksteady. It documents the recordings being made for this very album at the Tuff Gong studios, Kingston, Jamaica in April 2008, telling the story of the original vocalists and musicians involved. Excerpts from an all star reunion concert staged in Kingston and older archive material complete the picture. Never before in the history of Jamaica, which already occupies a unique place on the world map of song, its sound embraced by western popular music, has such an illustrious collection of singers and players been assembled. The album showcases 15 rocksteady classics in sparkling, deeply inspired new versions, recorded in the studio which also played host to album sessions of a certain Bob Marley. Under the musical direction of Ernest Ranglin, a guitarist of considerable renown not only on the reggae circuit, but also on the jazz scene, mixed by legendary engineer Errol Brown - in Duke Reid's employ at the Treasure Isle studio in the sixties - and freshly arranged by Lynn Taitt.

"The Earth Is The Fullness" collects many previously on CD/LP unreleased singles and portays at the same time how reggae was changing both musically and in the social context of the 70's and 80's. The album contains some of his best and most important songs, amongst them the title track recorded 1972 in the early of the Black Ark studio and mixed by Lee Perry.

His new masterpiece "Simple Truths and Pleasures" is again performed with members of the Big Fat Gap Bluegrass Band from NC, the vast majority of it recorded live in the studio. Most of the musicians have day jobs (Michael Holland is a sound engineer at the University of NC) who "just like to pick and like each other", showing more than ever before on this album. More traditional than the predecessor, the earthly songs reflect influences of regional artists like Earl Scruggs, Blind Boy Fuller, Mississippi John Hurt, the Carter Family, Doc Watson and Hank Williams. The music is a perfect and very melodic mixture of the timeless Southern musical forms: Acoustic Country, Folk, Bluegrass, Honky Tonk, Old Time String Band, Blues and Gospel. Songs to grow old with, led by Michael Holland's warm and haunting voice, adding a fresh Songwriter appeal to the classic American Roots-genres.

We are now part of the Lee Perry universe and very proud to announce the release of the double-vinyl of this great album with the freshest and strongest performance of the "Mighty Upsetter" in years!
As one of the most innovative legends in the history of reggae music, Lee Perry presents his new dub poetry project. Supported by the White Belly Rats, a new dub combo who composed the musical landscape, Mr Perry, always as upsetting, offers us powerful dub songs essentially inspired by his spiritual journey and the critical world situation.
After over 150 albums (!) as a producer and /or artist, the founder of reggae and dub strikes back with his new album. You may look at it as a collection of spontaneous poetry where tracks with rough lyrics and without any concessions or even prophetically inspired songs meet simpler lyrics like in the famous "Inspector Gadget". The whole thing was set up with such a clearness, realism and humor that both the fans of yesterday and others, who wish to get to know an authentic and engaged artist with an unlimited genius will be convinced.
Composed by DJ Startrek and his combo "The White Belly Rats" (DJ Startrek on bass, Lax Delux on guitar and Senator Spahni on drums), produced by P. Brunkow and mastered at Sterling Sound NY, "Panic In Babylon" is - according to some privileged who could already listen - the essence of the new dub of the third millenium!
And on top there is the solo (in "Panic In Babylon") by the famous Rico Rodriguez, the great master of the reggae trombone - who could ask for more?

BACK IN!
For more than four decades, Cornel Campbell has added jewel after jewl to the crown of Jamaican musical history, songs that can be heard in any good dancehall today, whether they come out of reggae, R&B or ska. Top of the list, the hits "Queen Of The Minstrels" and "Stars", recorded for Clement "Coxsone" Dodd at the legendary Studio One with the "Eternals". Known as the "Sam Cooke of Reggae", due to his unique soul-infused falsetto timbre, Campbell remains remarkably unknown outside of his native Caribbean.
The fifth Moll-Selekta release, "Original Blue Recordings 1970-1979" showcases many of his best tracks, soulful lovers renditions and more Rasta influenced roots songs. Compositions by Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke and particularly Curtis Mayfield figure among the timeless soul, lovers and roots evergreens to be found here. The compilation also features the hit "Just One Kiss (Magic Spell)", the single "Jah Jah Me No Horn Yah" and the - even on single - previously unreleased dub version of "Devil In Bed" (on the CD only).
Renowned bands The Aggrovators, Soul Syndicate and the High Time Players provided the backing at Channel One, Harry J's, Randys and Dynamics whilst the mix was done at no lesser than King Tubby's. Bunny ‚Striker' Lee, one of the Islands' most important producers, who worked with Campbell in perhaps his finest and most prolific days in the Seventies, was responsible for production.
Relive the crowning years of Kingston, Jamaica, 1970 to 1979 with Cornel Campbell at the peak of his powers. A must for serious reggae fans and a perfect introduction for the more casual observer.
