Help us give you what you want!!!
In between shovelling snow and making new music, we've managed to add some
amazing new vinyl and CD's to the already 800+ items on
http://www.stubbornrecords.com. And now you can listen to more of them than
ever before on our Jukebox! But, before we get ahead of ourselves, check out
these new additions:
EUROPEAN SKA VINYL
Babylove and The Van Dangos feat. Coolie Ranx - Big Big Baboon b/w Brand New
Beat (Motorcity Version) 7" Single (Swedish Import) Babylove and The Van Dangos
have been making waves all over the world with their high-energy delivery of
traditional-style Ska and Reggae. Big Big Baboon is a great uptempo Ska tune
with a DJ breakdown that Coolie shows his lyrical prowess on. Brand New Beat
begins as an early 60's-style R&B tune, before transforming into a 60's style
reggae tune.
DUB CD'S
Hi-Fi Killers - Turf War Dub CD The Hi Fi Killers, hip-hop/reggae powerhouse
of the 90s, have marked their return to the musical front lines, with this full
length Dub album. Turf War Dub picks up where "Jamaica" (Loosegroove 1999) left
off. Powerful dub arrangements, tastefully mixed and beautifully mastered with
all the artistic integrity that you come to expect with any Hi Fi Killers
recording.
Dub Fanatic - Terrible Riddims CD Terrible Riddims, the debut album from the
Seattle based Dub Fanatic, contains 15 tracks of world-class, heavyweight dub.
With deep reggae grooves and a guest appearance by Lynval Golding (The
Specials), Johnny Horn (Hi Fi Killers/The Notables/Militant Rhythm Section) has
produced a dub album that rivals all others. Once these tracks hit the air,
there's no turning back.
JAMAICAN SKA VINYL
Baba Brooks - Five O'Clock Whistle b/w The Angelic Brothers - Ten Virgins 7"
YELLOW VINYL Single (Jamaican Import) Top Deck records was Justin Yap's famous
hit-making label from the heyday of The Skatalites, with this single coming out
in 1963 originally. This is a rare Yellow Vinyl pressing of 2 amazing Ska
tunes. Both of these tunes really cook! One side is an up-tempo Ska vocal song.
The other is a laid back Ska instrumental with truly awesome playing. Enjoy this
RARE Jamaican re-issue!
Bob Marley - Judge Not b/w - Skatalites - Snow Boy 7" single (Jamaican Import)
For fans of Jamaican Ska, the Beverley's label is an institution of quality
songs, artists, and production. This Beverley's label single features a very
early hit for then-teenaged Bob Marley called Judge Not. It's an uptempo Ska
classic that's tough to find on any Bob Marley compilations. The B-side is The
Skatalites in a nice early piano-driven Ska tune called Snow Boy. Both sides are
rare Ska tunes with strong, simple, piano-driven melodies that will make you
wanna dance and hum along!
Jackie Opel - Sometimes I Wonder b/w Don Drummond - Smiling 7" BLUE VINYL
(Jamaican Import)
Jackie Opel - Take Your Time b/w Roland Alphonso - Live Desire 7" YELLOW VINYL
(Jamaican Import)
Don Drummond - In Memory of LP (Jamaican Import)
REGGAE VINYL
Harry J All Stars - Liquidator b/w Mixed Version 7" single (Jamaican Import)
The bass melody of this 1969 classic was borrowed for The Staples Singers' soul
classic "I'll Take You There." It's one of the all-time great reggae dance
songs. It's got an organ groove and bassline that doesn't quit. The B-side of
this record features the "Mixed Version," which is actually a slightly slower
version with uncredited DJ's toasting over it. Even if you have Liquidator on
something else, this 7" is worth getting just for the B-side. Get into it!
Dennis Brown - Super Reggae and Soul Hits LP (Jamaican Import) This is THE
compilation of Dennis Brown's early career while coming up under Derrick
Harriott's wing. The young Crowned Prince of Reggae really shows off his
soulful delivery on this mix of American R&B covers and originals. It's pure
Early Reggae and Roots as only the brilliant Dennis Brown could provide.

REGGAE CD'S
