Protest Heavyweight LP
Bunny Wailer is not only known as an original member of reggae group The Wailers, but also because of his fantastic solo career. His second album Protest is full of solid reggae rhythms and conscious lyrics. Itrsquos subtle with a lot of slowly growing repetitions and the great Peter Tosh appears on the guitar. As the title suggests, it is more of a social commentary, Bunny protests against vanity and rallyrsquos for human rights. All over this one needs to be in everybodyrsquos Reggae collection.

Once Upon A Time Coloured Double Heavyweight LP
Following the release of Dreadzones dancefloor infused 4th album Sound in 2001 the need to take the album live would see a change of lineup. New man Ben Balafonic took on touring duties and moved his mixing desk into the Dread Central studio in West London to start a brand new partnership. Along with new live MC Spee and Greg Dreads brother Steve a team was building that would go on to create a tougher more MC driven skanking spin on the bass heavy dread sound. Earl 16 also became a big part of an album that evolved slowly in between other projects and remixing during the next 3 years from 2002 to 2005. Without a live show Greg, Ben and Spee took the Dreadzone Sound System to a new level on the road resulting in a DJ mix album on the Functional Label. To build on that, Dreadzones 5th artist album Once Upon A Time was finally released in 2005 also on Functional and the bands fearsome live reputation stepped up a notch with the return of Leo Williams.The following year of touring took in many dynamic shows resulting in the live album Live at Sunrise. Sadly the tour for that record never took place. In 2006 Ben left and Steve Roberts tragically passed away effectively drawing a line under this particular period of Dreadzone. Now in 2020 its time to revisit this album with a remastered release that includes double heavyweight vinyl on the bands own Dubwiser label to best tell the story of Once Upon A Time.

Earth Heavyweight LP
Ed OrsquoBrien never planned to make a solo record. As a guitarist with Radiohead, who over almost three decades and nine albums have established themselves as one of the most innovative and influential musical forces of our time, he thought his artistic side had its outlet and was happy to spend any downtime from Radiohead with his family. Plus, he wondered, would it really be necessary ldquoThom, Jonny and Phillip are making music,rdquo he says, ldquoand Irsquom like, lsquoThe last thing the world needs is a shit album by me.rsquordquo But suddenly a switch was flicked and the songs came pouring out of him. That creative surge resulted in an album of rediscovery and adventure by OrsquoBrien under the moniker EOB that deftly veers from moments of delicate folk to euphoric house, its songs seamlessly pinned together by unswerving melodic hooks and candid lyricism. A spirit of collaboration runs through it, from the production team of Flood, Catherine Marks, Alan Moulder and Adam lsquoCecilrsquo Bartlett to the extraordinary musicians OrsquoBrien assembled to help bring these tracks to life Omar Hakim, Colin Greenwood, David Okumu, Laura Marling, Adrian Utley, Nathan East and Glenn Kotche.nbspVINYLnbspFORMATSnbspINCLUDE180 gram vinylGatefold jacket6 lithographsPrinted insertManufactured with recycled packaging
