Delroy Melody Mixtape - Rooftop Salutes

Rooftop salutes Delroy Melody Mixtape. 

 Rooftop Sound from Portsmouth UK come with a rocking tribute to this crucial but little known singer from St. Elizebeth, Jamaica. Has strong Sugar Minott vibes. Good balance of roots, lovers and dancehall starting with songs from his brilliant Dread Must Be Fed LP (around 1979?? featuring rhythms from Sly & Robbie & Roots Radics). Tracks from various producers through the 80s to the present including some wicked specials.

Roots killer Ease Up the Pressure on a deadly cut of the Unchained backed by Studio One musicians.

Maximum respect to the Rooftop posse & Selector Dave. 

Pure niceness....

Lovers Rock Gems from the 1970s & 80s - Part 1

Lovers Rock Gems from the 1970s & 80s 

 

From our collection of 7 and 12'' Lovers rock hits and rarities in an extended 12'' discomix style

Part one. Selections from the 70's into the early 80's. Features hits from Rudy Thomas (Key To The World on Hawkeye), Jean Adebambo, The Mighty Diamonds, Cool-Notes and T.T. Ross (Last Date & Piece Of My Heart). Hard to find classics from Delroy Melody (Yvonne), The SUS Band, T. T. Scott (Lovers Game - a real diamond), Donna Rhoden and Marlene Webber. Dobby Dobson covers Why Do Fools Fall In Love, interesting for an unnamed deejay appearance (sounds like Ranking Joe, anyone have any ideas??). That one's on the circle label. Superb 12'' cut of Winston Reedy's Daughter Of Zion. Two irie cuts on Gregory Isaacs My Only Lover riddim from 1981 by Ken Boothe and Cornell Campbell (Rockstone).
