The Reggae Thread

@steviebee
If your interested I’m recommending the initial 1996 Wingless Angel’s CD as pictured above. It’s on Island Jamaica/Mindless Records and is a HDCD whatever that means, it plays on a normal CD player and sounds great.
It was sort of reissued in 2010 as Vol 1&2. Vol1 being the above described initial album with Vol2 being later recordings. I haven’t heard that one but I think they are more Studio based recordings so perhaps less authentic.

This is the original first Wingless Angel’s CD

Following my earlier post,
Splendid chap from the Royal Mail paid another welcome visit to Dread Mansions.

It came out last year, dont know how this missed my radar
Lovely package, haven’t time to spin it yet but I’m sure it’s going to be good

Hi Steve, is the vinyl version you have a single or double?
Thanks
:grinning:

Hi Dread!
Double LP.
Sorry still haven’t got round to a direct comparison. I’ll get it done soon!

Malcolm X has become my daily song. When I’m not playing it, I’m singing it! Fab.

No worries Stevie, I mistakenly thought they were single vinyl LP’s hence my comment about playing time and reduced SQ
Glad your enjoying it, big up yourself!

If you love the Blues get this album, if you love Reggae get this album, if you dont like either still get it.

Great album. Great voice. The outstanding tracks imo are:
Here Comes Trouble, Eternal Fire & Jah Is There.

Cheers

Yes indeed Hamiltonz, gotta love Chronnix and all the new breed of roots oriented artists.
Positive!

One of Chronnix first breakthrough tunes.
News Carrying Dread, referencing Jacob Miller and Inner Circles classic Tenement Yard

Another example of Chronnix referencing the past whilst moving forward in fine style. .

The Blood & Fire set is good I have it although the tapes weren’t in great shape and some dubbed from disc IIRC.
Heres what it says on the sleeve notes




The Blood & Fire CD version also IIRC offers some extra tracks dubbed from original 12" vinyl.
Top dollar prices for the original UK Go Feat label pressing
Btw VP released a 40th Anniversary set which includes an alternative Black Ark mix of the album, I haven’t heard it…
