Highlights are frequent, including the opening track, 'After a Storm,' by Justin Hinds & the Dominoes, 'Train to Glory,' by the Ethiopians, and the best version the Heptones did of one of their best songs, 'Hypocrite.' An early Wailing Souls track, 'Harbour Shark,' is a particular delight. VA - Scorcha!: Skins, Suedes and Style from the Streets 1967-1973 (2020)FLAC tracks 56:26 208 MbGenre: Reggae, Pop, R&B, Rock, 70s / Label: Trojan RecordsThe suedehead subculture was an early-1970s offshoot of skinhead subculture in the UK and Ireland. Although sharing similarities to 1960s skinheads, suedeheads grew their hair longer and dressed more formally, and although often working class like skinheads, some had white collar jobs, which bred a more formal attire such as brogues or loafers instead of heavy boots. Though there were similarities in musical taste at the beginning, by the late 1970's Suedeheads were listening to 2-Tone artists such 'The Beat', and glam rock bands such as 'Slade' and 'Mott The Hoople'. Beautifully illustrated throughout and with a foreword from none other than Paul Weller, this is the definitive visual history of one of Britain's subcultures from the 1970's.

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Legend (Deluxe Edition) (1984/2020)WEB FLAC (Tracks) - 931 MB Cover MP3 CBR 320 kbps - 335 MB 02:23:12Reggae, Dub, Roots Label: Island RecordsThe classic Marley album, the one that any fair-weather reggae fan owns, Legend contains 14 of his greatest songs, running the gamut from 'I Shot the Sheriff' to the meditative 'Redemption Song' and the irrepressible 'Three Little Birds.' Some may argue that the compilation shortchanges his groundbreaking early ska work or his status as a political commentator, but this isn't meant to be definitive, it's meant to be an introduction, sampling the very best of his work. And it does that remarkably well, offering all of his genre-defying greats and an illustration of his excellence, warmth, and humanity. In a way, it is perfect since it gives a doubter or casual fan anything they could want. Let's face it, the beauty and simplicity of Marley's music was as important as his message, and that's captured particularly well here.

Here is a selection of tracks he recorded circa 1981 for Bunny Lee, which includes Late Night Blues, Spread Out and Money & Woman. Various - This Is Trojan Boss Reggae (2018)EAC Rip FLAC (tracks+.cue) 02:18:50 546,14 MBReggae Label: Trojan RecordsAs the 1960s drew to a close, a new, exciting sound emerged in Jamaica that would swiftly take the music world by storm: reggae. During this formative period, the music was marked by its rapid tempo, which by the dawn of the Seventies had been superseded by the more relaxed style that today is more readily associated with the genre. In recent years, the early, energetic form of reggae has been branded ‘boss’ or ‘skinhead’ reggae – the latter reflecting its association with the UK’s youth sub-culture that championed the style.
