2017 repress - This could well be the best in the series, hard to believe after the glorious delights of the Soul, Roots, Rockers and DJ's volumes, the kindly Soul Jazz have obtained a compilation from Mark Ainley which unleashes some absolute foundation music on an expectant public. Vinyl furtlers will recognize some of tunes from the "Tuffest" white bagged lp, not the least Karl Bryan and Count Ossie's after hours genius on "Black Up". There's a dubplate only mix of "Last Call" and best of all, one of the first ever Studio One twelve inch, "Shockers Rock", Tommy McCook, Richard Ace, The Skatalites and Disco Height really turning the pressure up with the deranged oriental melody mutating into a rampant rhythm piece of dubwise ska. Worth price of admission alone, and unfortunately, another beyond essential piece of Soul Jazz, mining the seam which will be forever Clement Coxsone Dodd.A1 Skatalites, The - Coconut Rock A2 Cedric "Im" Brooks & Sound Dimension - Mun-Dun-Go A3 Tommy McCook & Richard Ace & Disco Height - Shockers Rock B1 Soul Vendors, The - Ringo Rock B2 Jackie Mittoo & Ernest Ranglin - Jehrico Skank B3 New Establishment, The - The People Skanking B4 Karl Bryan & Afrokats, The - Money Generator C1 Lester Sterling - Afrikaan Beat C2 Sound Dimension - Heavy Rock C3 Sugar Belly - In Cold Blood D1 Don Drummond & Skatalites, The - Heavenless D2 Soul Brothers, The - Bugaloo D3 Vin Gordon - Red Blood E1 Pablove Black* - Push Pull E2 Jackie Mittoo & Brentford Rockers - Sidewalk Doctor E3 Liberation Group - Namibia F1 Brentford Road All Stars* - Last Call F2 Soul Defenders - Still Calling - F3 Karl Bryan & Count Ossie - Black Up
