These albums are not be available in any retail stores, only at www.hip-oselect.com. They are all one-time-only, limited-edition releases of the albums with brand new mastering from the original master tapes. The releases currently available are: BLACK UHURU 'THE COMPLETE ANTHEM SESSIONS' The first-ever winner of the Grammy for Best Reggae Album is now expanded to include all of the various versions of the LP, with the addition of new and exclusive bonus tracks. Disc One contains the original full length mixes of the 'Anthem' album, plus both sides of the "Party Next Door/Party In Session" 12-inch. Disc Two features the previously unreleased original dub mixes of the album. Disc Three, the UK remix version of the album, also contains both sides of the "What Is Life / Solidarity / Party Next Door" 12-inch. Disc Four is the US remix version of 'Anthem,' plus two previously unreleased mixes of "Somebody's Watching You." JIMMY CLIFF 'GOODBYE YESTERDAY' A long-lost 1975 compilation that Island, for some mysterious reason, had never issued. Singles, b-sides and previously unreleased tracks from the legendary reggae icon. DILLINGER 'CB 200 / BIONIC DREAD' 'CB 200,' a tribute to Dillinger's motorcycle, featured his rocket to reggae fame, "Cokane In My Brain," a mesmerizing groove that set the bar for hip-hop artists that would follow in his wake. The follow-up album, 'Bionic Dread,' is a worthy musical successor; it's the first time for this ever on CD. 20 tracks of classic Channel One rhythms. GEORGE FAITH 'TO BE A LOVER' Faith locks into legendary producer Lee "Scratch" Perry's groove on such classics as the O'Jays' "I've Got The Groove" and Paul Anka's "Diana." The amalgam of Wilson Pickett's "In The Midnight Hour" and Lee Dorsey's "Ya Ya," mixed with Perry's swampy production is nothing short of a masterpiece. Also features an extended 12-inch mix of the title track, over nine minutes of audio goodness! SUGAR MINOTT 'BLACK ROOTS' 1980's 'Black Roots' ranks high among the Jamaican singer's finest efforts. Recorded with a rough-hewn simplicity, the album adds an island inflection to a '60s-style sweet soul. MAX ROMEO 'WAR INA BABYLON' Classic 1976 album restored to its original boonoonoonous-ness, with five bonus tracks. A five-star review in MOJO for this reggae classic! THIRD WORLD '960 IN THE SHADE' This version of '960 In The Shade' features a previously-unreleased alternate extended mix of "Rhythm Of Life" and alternate mixes of "Feel A Little Better" and the band's breakout smash, "1865 (960 In The Shade)." THE UPSETTERS 'SUPER APE' Musical alchemist Lee Scratch Perry's masterful 1976 album, with a trio of rare single sides added. Hip-O Select is a division of the Universal Music Group. ### Not In Stores!

REGGAE just celebrated 10 years on the radio with last night's show. When I first arrived to teach on Guam in 1994, I NEVER expected to become a DJ. I had no experience nor aspirations to do so. The opportunity literally fell into my lap. My initial aim was to provide an outlet for independent international Reggae artists to get exposure in this remote area of the world. I give thanks every day for the support of the network provided by Reggae Ambassadors Worldwide and others I've had the pleasure of meeting through that network, who have sent music over the years. Without you, my life would never had been so complete (or busy!!! ;-) ) In those ten years, I also had a show on a commerical station for two years and have done several club gigs. The list below shows the Top 25 Plays for all runnings. Give thanks to all those who have supported my efforts throughout the past decade! Starting with the new decade, I've changed my rotation formula slightly to allow both purchased music & older promotional music sent to me receive higher ranking for play possibility. compiled from all playlists since Nov '94 repeated numbers indicate a tie ALBUMS ====== ARTIST ALBUM LABEL ====== ===== ===== 1.
