A-T-3 086 Disco Reggae Lovers

The last few days I've shared tracks on record labels that you might call Archive labels, unlike budget reissue labels these releases sell at a premium. Archive labels have proliferated since the early 2000s. The most well known of these is probably Light In The Attic. LITA's reissues have a Sunday colour supplement feel to them. Below is a Guardian article about The Shaggs written by Bob Stanley, in it he draws comparisons to Vashti Bunyan (who in 2000 was currently being refound in the Sunday supplements and on Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone radio show) and The Free Design who LITA would reissue in 2003 https://www.theguardian.com/media/2000/jul/27/tvandradio.television1. The Shaggs' Philosophy Of The World had been reissued not long before this article came out in 2000, Light In The Attic would reissue it in 2016 on coloured vinyl to match the colour supplements

It was the 2012 documentary film Searching For Sugar Man that really put Light In The Attic on the map. LITA had reissued Rodriguez's Cold Fact album in 2008 and Coming From Reality in 2009. The documentary highlights Rodriguez' apparently unbeknownst stardom in South Africa. In fact in SA (and Australia) these albums hadn't been out of print since they were originally released there. There are documentaries made of other artists LITA reissue like Betty Davis (Betty: They Say I'm Different, 2017) and Karen Dalton (Karen Dalton: In My Own Time, 2020)

Light In The Attic is founded in 2002. The same year and 10-years after releasing their first reissue Soul Jazz records make the Studio One Story. The Studio One Story is released as a double album with the 4-hour documentary on DVD. This is the first Soul Jazz documentary, others will follow like Dub Echoes, and Jende Ri Palenge - People of Palenque the Afro-Colombian music and film project, Iron In The Soul: The Haiti Documentary Films Of Leah Gordon. As well as films Soul Jazz produce anthology books like Cover Art of Studio One Records

Soul Jazz began it's Studio One archive series with the compilation album 100% Dynamite in 1998. It has been the labels biggest seller. When it came out I saw it as a reggae equivalent of Blue Note's Blue Break Beats. Sanctuary owned the Trojan back catalogue at the time and put out the budget Trojan Records Box Set series on CD. Each box has about 50 tracks and the sleeve notes are sparse, so they're a bit like dumping all your photos off your phone onto instagram. 100% Dynamite and the subsequent 'Soul Jazz Studio One Series' are the opposite, they're thought outing come with a lot of info

The main focus of Light In The Attic isn't archive series like this (they have a few, the track below is from LITA's 'Japan Archival Series' begun in 2017) the bulk of their reissues reflect a label more like Rykodisc or Rhino

A better comparison with Soul Jazz would be Numero Group, launched 2003 in Chicago, USA. Numero's uniform packaging isn't far off the Mastercuts series albeit paired down for contemporary tastes. Numero was an archive label from the get go, numero NUM001 was Eccentric Soul: The Capsoul Label which was also the beginning it's first series 'Eccentric Soul.' Like Soul Jazz there's a lot of passion in these collections

You can see labels like Emotional Rescue also pay a debt to Soul Jazz

Ernest Ranglin – In The Rain This cover of the Dramatics R&B classic was put on the expanded 15-year anniversary edition of the Soul Jazz compilation HUSTLE! Reggae Disco - Kingston London New York. A few years later Emotional Rescue reissue the album In The Rain is on Be What You Want To Be. Emotional Rescue have a good relationship with Noel Williams (King Sporty) in Miami, USA and have slowly been releasing his productions which this is one. In 2021 Emotional Rescue put the track on a 7" as part of their 'Disco Reggae Lovers' 7" series

Another 1983 track from Emotional Rescue's 'Disco Reggae Lovers' series is Red Cloud - I Want To Be Free. Emotional Rescue are also putting out tracks from the Dancefloor label. The coup here is the dub on the b-side

The third 1983 original in the series is Lorraine by Dambala taken from their album Azania. It comes with a nice dub by Lexx on the bee. I wonder how this goes on at a party over the original?

UbuWeb

UbuWeb began in 1996 as a site focusing on visual and concrete poetry. With the advent of the graphical web browser, we began scanning old concrete poems, astonished by how fresh they looked backlit by the computer screen. Shortly thereafter, when streaming audio became available, it made sense to extend our scope to sound poetry, and as bandwidth increased we later added MP3s as well as video. 

The site is filled with the detritus and ephemera of great artists—the music of Jean Dubuffet, the poetry of Dan Graham, Julian Schnabel’s country music, the punk rock of Martin Kippenberger, the diaries of John Lennon, the rants of Karen Finley, and pop songs by Joseph Beuys—all of which was originally put out in tiny editions and vanished quickly.

There are over 2500 full-length avant-garde films and videos, both streaming and downloadable, including the videos of Vito Acconci and the filmic oeuvre of Jack Smith, You can also find several biographies and interviews with authors such as Jorge Luis Borges, J. G. Ballard, Allen Ginsberg, and Louis-Ferdinand Céline. And there are a number of films about avant-garde music, most notably Robert Ashley’s epic 14-hour Music with Roots in the Aether, a series of composer portraits made in the mid-70s featuring artists such as Pauline Oliveros, Philip Glass, and Alvin Lucier. A dozen of the rarely screened films by Mauricio Kagel can be viewed as can Her Noise, a documentary about women and experimental music from 2005. There are also hours of performance documentation, notably the entire Cinema of Transgression series with films by Beth B and Richard Kern, a lecture by Chris Burden, a bootleg version of Robert Smithson’s HOTEL PALENQUE, (1969) and an astonishing 21-minute clip of Abbie Hoffman making gefilte fish on Christmas Eve of 1973.
