1 - ECLIPSE
- CORRUPTED SOCIETY - (CD)
REGGAE ARCHIVE
Friends and contemporaries of fellow Handsworth band Steel Pulse, Eclipse never achieved the same level of commercial success. Back in the seventies the two bands vied with each other to be acclaimed as Handsworth's best, as the area bubbled with musical creativity. Eclipse were together for ten years, from 1975 until 1985. In that time they managed to release just one album and three 7" singles, a small, but powerful legacy and one that deserves to be recognised by a wider audience. The bulk of this CD features Eclipse's lone album release, known as "Eclipsed." The British pressing is now very scarce and was repressed as "Inner Reggae Rhythm for a Canadian release. The album includes these eight tracks plus both sides of the bands final single and a brace of previously unreleased tracks. Unlike previous reissues this project has been completed with the full cooperation of the original band members. They have provided their recollections of the band's history for the sleeve notes as well as supplying precious archive photographs.
TRACKLISTING: 01. Corrupted Society 02. Immigration 03. Six Dead 04. Blood Fi Dem 05. Jah Can't Fail I 06. Come Me Brethren 07. Visions 08. Let Jah Be The One 09. Enjoy Yourself / Have A Good Time (live) 10. After The Rain 11. City Loving (live) 12. Eclipse

2 - TRIBESMAN
- THE TRIBE/FINSBURY PARK - (12")
REGGAE ARCHIVE
Following Bristol Archive Record's great success with reissuing classic lost reggae from Bristol they have expanded theirr sights to the whole UK with the launch of this new label Reggae Archive Records. The aim is exactly the same, to issue obscure and previously unreleased reggae music of merit that has largely been forgotten and neglected and give it a second chance.To kick things off, they've chosen a classic and highly sought after twelve inch single from London band Tribesman released with the full cooperation of original producer Paget King.Originally issued in 1979 the record has gone on to become something of a classic fetching good money in collectors circles. Reggae Archive have taken the liberty of reversing the sides meaning the more rootsy and sought after "The Tribe" is now the A side whilst "Finsbury Park" is now the AA. Both sides are extended disco mixes with the vocal leading straight into the dub and to complement the package, the record will be housed in a high quality Reggae Archive Records 12" disco sleeve recalling those lost days of the late seventies when colourfully designed sleeves jostled each other for space in the racks and helping this classic tune really stand out.Not only is this just the first of many exciting projects we have planned for the new label, but it is also the start of our relationship with Paget King and Tribesman as they plan a full CD release of the band's back catalogue in 2013.

- FASHION IN FINE STYLE, SIGNIFICANT HITS VOL.1 - (CD)
REGGAE ARCHIVE
There is no other label that defines UK reggae in the eighties and nineties as well as Fashion Records. For two decades they captured the sound of the UK as it was happening. Their constant stream of singles and LPs effectively defined the UK MC style, dominated the UK lovers rock charts, pioneered the UK ragga sound, released roots and dub and provided huge inspiration for the jungle and garage scenes. After a long hiatus, Fashion has been relaunched in the digital domain but, with a strong demand for physical releases of their back catalogue from fans old and new, John and Chris have chosen Reggae Archive Records as their partner to meet that demand with a comprehensive programme of vinyl and CD releases and giving the new label access to all of the Fashion catalogue, including unreleased tracks.To launch the new partnership, Reggae Archive Records have decided to start with the same compilation that launched Fashion's arrival on the digital platform and will be releasing the various artists compilation "Fashion In Fine Style - Significant Hits Volume One" as a digitally remastered CD. Personally selected by John and Chris, the compilation starts with the first release on the label and indeed its first hit Dee Sharp's "Let's Dub It Up". The next five tracks continue in a similar lovers vein with Peter Hunnigale, Winsome and Janet Lee-Davis joined by Jamaican legend Alton Ellis.The album keeps up a mellow vibe, but heads in a roots direction with tracks from Nereus Joseph and Jah Mali before Frankie Paul ushers in the dancehall sounds the label was famous for. We are given nine variations on the dancehall style ranging from roots themes to sound clash tunes and the early digital style to raga. There's even a jungle remix amongst them with the remix of Top Cat's "Request this Style" though it rather conflicts with the message of Starkey Banton's "Jungle Bungle". Last, but by no means least, is a track from the label's twilight. Chris Lane in his Dub Organiser alter ego with the excellent "Herbal Dub", a great slice of dub and a final reminder of just how versatile the labeL was.This is a great opportunity for fans old and new to pick up some of Fashion's biggest hits on CD.

- SOUND N PRESSURE STORY - (CD)
REGGAE ARCHIVE
Inspired by the first wave of UK produced Digi Roots and Dub he was hearing at Nick Manasseh's Roots Rock Reggae sessions at London's Dingwalls and Jah Shaka dances, reggae lover and club promoter Anthony Cummins got together with friends Adam Holden (Fish), Mark Evans (Suffurah) and Hamish Brown (All Nation Rockers), to see about getting some studio time and trying their hand at creating their own music. A visit to Youth Sound record shop to get feedback for an early version of "Warm The Nation" gained them a positive response from Tenastelin, Danny Red and MC Ishen. Joined by local singer Kenrick Griffith (Versatile Creations), they finished the track and the following Spring, the Sound 'n' Pressure label launched with the release of "Warm the Nation" on 12".The record was a hit on the underground UK reggae scene and over the next couple of years, the label put out another three equally well received twelve inch singles and had their fifth release recorded and being played on dubplate by Aba Shanti. Unfortunately for reggae fans, in 1995 Anthony decided to put his time and energy into creating and opening his own studio and the label was put on hold with no further releases. In the intervening years, a whole new generation of fans in the UK and worldwide have discovered those original Sound 'n' Pressure records, often paying high prices to secure copies. Finally the music will be readily available again when Reggae Archive Records release their Sound 'n' Pressure compilation, 'Sound 'n' Pressure Story, on 11th March 2013. Remastered from the original master tapes, the music has never sounded better and in addition to the four twelve inches, the album includes both tracks from what would have been the fifth single, (previously an exclusive Aba Shanti dub plate), and an unreleased track Anthony created for a short film..The album comes with sleeve notes filling in the background to the label and is available on CD, limited edition vinyl
