Refugee - Refugee: Remastered & Expanded - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Slothrust's Show Me How You Want It To Be is an EP of collection of unexpected and inventive takes on classics by icons as diverse as Al Green and Britney Spears, Marcy Playground and Louis Armstrong. Slothrust is led by guitarist and vocalist Leah Wellbaum, an expressively fiery player with a unique deadpan vocal delivery style and refreshing knack for depth and absurdity as a songwriter.

Digitally remastered and expanded three CD digipak edition of the classic 1968 debut album by The Move. Of all of the groups to emerge in Britain in the latter half of the 1960s, The Move was arguably one of the finest. A powerful act on stage, the group were blessed with one of the most imaginative songwriters of his generation in Roy Wood and a fine vocalist in Carl Wayne, complemented by Bev Bevan (drums), Trevor Burton (guitar) and Ace Kefford (bass). Released in the UK in April 1968, Move followed on from the international success the band had achieved with the classic singles 'Night of Fear', 'I Can Hear The Grass Grow', 'Flowers In the Rain' and 'Fire Brigade'. Their first album, Move, demonstrated the imaginative diversity of the band and saw them break new ground creatively.

Disco Reggae Rockers features wicked reggae disco versions of funk, soul and disco classics! This new album follows on from Soul Jazz Records' earlier highly successful 'Hustle Disco Reggae' and features reggae covers of classic songs by Earth, Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson, The Isley Brothers, Candi Staton, Curtis Mayfield and more as performed by Derrick Harriott, Devon Russell, Hortense Ellis, Glen Adams, Dave Barker and others. The lineages of American soul and disco music on the one hand and Jamaican reggae on the other are so intertwined that it's unsurprising that disco reggae - or reggae disco if you prefer - is such a winning and straightforward combination. American and Jamaican music has been influencing each other back and forth for many decades, and is one reason that the music of Diana Ross, Curtis Mayfield, the Isley Brothers and numerous other US soul artists is so widely appreciated in Jamaica. // The most-straightforward definition of 'Disco Reggae' is to describe it as American disco and soul songs covered by reggae artists. But the relationship is binary - this is no mere subservient island appreciation of North American dominant culture but instead an example of the interweaving thread of Jamaican and American music that travels back and forth between the major cities of Kingston, London, Toronto, New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. // Having said that all of the songs featured here are indeed cover versions of (or at least heavily based on) US soul and disco tunes. Curtis Mayfield, Diana Ross, Earth, Wind & Fire, Archie Bell, The Dramatics, Michael Jackson - the work of these artists resonated around the world and Jamaica was no exception. // Comes as a double CD edition with booklet.CD11.
