Black Man's Pride Vol.1
"Black Man's Pride" heißt ist die neue, aufsehenerregende Studio One-Kompilation mit Reggae-Songs, die für eine aufrechte, politische Haltung stehen. Dabei sind Horace Andy, The Gladiators, Sugar Minott, The Heptones, Freddie McGregor, Cedric Brooks und andere. Viele der hier veröffentlichen Songs stammen aus einer Phase zu Beginn der 70er-Jahre, als sich aus dem Ska der Rocksteady entwickelte. Neben der Frage der Gerechtigkeit, die fest im Herzen des Rastafari-Glaubens verankert ist, ist der Stolz der Schwarzen das verbindende inhaltliche Motiv dieser Songs. Und wo sollte sich das besser finden lassen als in den Aufnahmen unter der Leitung von Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd, der mit Studio One die erste schwarze Plattenfirma in Jamaika gründete? Das Thema der schwarzen Identität bringt Alton Ellis in perfekter Weise im Titelstück "Black Man's Pride" auf den Punkt. Ellis' Geburtsort ist das Trench Town Ghetto von Kingston, von dort kommen auch die Wailers, Ken Boothe und viele andere Studio One-Künstler. 18 Songs aus diesem musikalischen Imperium gibt es hier, sowohl klassische Hits als auch extrem seltene Veröffentlichungen.- Format

Bank Robbery
[engl] Vivian Jones' debut album, released in 1983 and backed by Undivided Roots. Heavy slow sparse rhythms (in a Roots Radics style) and floating keyboards. Superb roots by this inspired UK singer, including the well-know tunes Flash It And Gwan and Third World Man. Born in Jamaica but raised in the UK, Vivian Jones is an important voice in the UK Roots scene. Started in the 70’s as deejay on local sound systems but also as a member of several UK Roots bands. Disillusioned with the music industry he returned to Jamaica in 1982 and recorded some material there. He returned to London, began recording again in his spare time and released his debut album Bank Robbery on Ruff Cut. He went on to work with Jah Shaka, Bobby Digital, Junior Reid and many others. In the 90’s he started his own ‘Imperial House’ label. Nowadays a welcome guest on every reggae festival in Europe, Vivian still plays live shows and even with more than 130 single releases under his belt, he keeps on recording new and uplifting tunes. At that time I never had a band to work with or anything so I spoke to Crucial Tony Phillips and he said I must come in. I went down to Ruff Cutt and they had some rhythms down there that they didn't know what to do with and I think they were even going to wipe some of them off the tape. They played me a few of them and I said, "What? You gwaan wipe off this?? A me tek this!" so they say "Alright, come voice it..." and the tune was Flash It And Gwaan. When I heard that rhythm I said, "Bwoy you mad???" and they said, "we cyaan get nobody to sing 'pon this riddim" so I said, "gimme the riddim". And, in fact, before I sang it, when I heard the rhythm I went to a sound party. I went there and they gave me the mic and I started singing Flash It And Gwaan right there and then. Then I went to the studio and sang it for Ruff Cutt. After Flash It And Gwaan I sang about three more tunes that night and then they decided to make an album so they started giving me different rhythms and I kept voicing them until we had an album. That was the album Bank Robbery, because at the time the bank robbery was a real thing that happened on my birthday, 1st April, when they robbed some gold bullion or something like that. Whole heap of millions. And because it was on my birthday, I remembered that and then one day they gave me a rhythm and so I sang Bank Robbery on it for the album title track.- Format
