VERSION CITY
JAMAICA


Prince
Alla - We No Want No Bomb b/w Dread No Want No Bomb 7" single (Jamaican
Import) Here's another big Version City Jamaica label release! This time it's
legendary Roots singer Prince Alla laying down a passionate vocal over the
Fortitude Riddim. This is our 8th release on the Fortitude Riddim! Prince Alla
has had many hits on classic roots riddims on the Freedom Sounds label in
Kingston, Jamaica. He's been around since the 1970's, but his voice is as strong
now as it ever was. On this brand new tune, Prince Alla sings lyrics calling for
peace and unity in these times of war and violence all over the world. His voice
is strong and gospel-tinged, oozing with feeling, but smooth and re-assuring.
The b-side is the same vocal over a Nyabinghi drum version of the riddim.
Wicked!

Records Label - 2-sided (2 Colors on Red) T-shirt Here's a brand new T-shirt

actual record on the Beverley's label. The back contains the names of all of the
amazing artists who had hits on the label, including Bob Marley, Desmond Dekker,
The Maytals, Jimmy Cliff, Derrick Morgan, and many more! We're offering it to

Django - Magical Djangoburger T-shirt


SKA AND PUNK
CD'S


Sonic
Boom Six - The Ruff Guide to Genre-Terrorism CD If you haven't heard England's
Sonic Boom Six, it's time to get hip to them. Few bands can so smoothly mix
dancefloor-savvy elements of reggae, jungle and ska with the rigorous commentary
of hip-hop whilst retaining enough grit and aggression to be an active fixture
of the UK's punk scene. Check out ‘Sound of a Revolution' for the Boom in an
instant – fluid grime vocals laid over a bass-heavy skank, detonated with a
blast of female-fronted punk-rock.


The
Flaming Tsunamis - Fear Everything CD The Flaming Tsunamis mix hard-hitting
super-fast hardcore with up-beat ska in a mind-blowing way. They've been rocking
the Northeastern US for years, and recently went overseas to spread their brand
of musical mayhem. If you haven't checked them out yet, this CD is a great way
to start.


Cuban B - Vol. 1: Hero Wannabee'z CD
(Israeli Import)


Shem's
Disciples - Sow Melodic CD


JAMAICAN
IMPORT VINYL


Various
Artists - Ride Me Donkey: Solid Gold From Jamaica LP (Jamaican Import) If
you're looking for a good compilation with a mix of rare and popular rocksteady
and early reggae hits, this is it! This is Studio 1 at its finest. The tunes are
mostly up-beat, and they all have incredibly tight grooves. The artists on this
compilation include Ken Boothe, Marcia Griffiths, Heptones, Jackie Mittoo, and
more! We're talking all-stars at the height of their powers. This is a really
cool, RARE Jamaican-pressed LP that is fun to spin from the first song to the
last.


Derrick
& Patsy - National Dance b/w Derrick Morgan - Let Me Go 7" single (Jamaican
Import) Now here's an awesome example of some fast-paced Jamaican ska! The
A-side is a duet by the famous duo of Derrick Morgan & Patsy Todd, whose voices
went together like Peanut butter and Jelly. It's from the time of Jamaican
independence, making it a very early Ska single. The flip side is Derrick Morgan
singing over a very true scorching Ska beat! Both of these songs are very rare,
and were hard to find before they were put together on this Jamaican-pressed 7"
single!


The
Skatalites - Lawless Street / King Sporty - Lawless Street (DJ Version) LIMITED
EDITION 7" BLUE VINYL (Jamaican

Bob Marley and The Wailers - One
Love b/w Version 7" single (Jamaican

We're proud once again to be releasing big tunes in Jamaica and all over the
world on our Jamaican-based Version City label. It's truly an honor to work
with a legendary artist like Prince Alla. He has influenced so many reggae
singers, including some with releases on Stubborn, like Predator of the Predator
Dub Assassins. We hope you get as passionate about it as we do! Who'd have
thought a little ol' American-based Ska label would end up releasing popular
tunes by their Jamaican heroes in Jamaica? We're hoping to continue this fun
musical adventure with the artists, and especially with you guys. Thanks for
your continued support!!!!
