Summer Records
VA - Summer Records Anthology - 1974-1988 - Light In The Attic
Jerry Brown's studio in Toronto was on par with Lloyd Barnes with
Wackies in New York. Not for releases - but for good sound - and
getting a new reggae sound. Distribution was always a problem - and it
still is for many new labels and studios. Light In The Attic based in
Seattle - have already relased one set from Canada but this is the
first all reggae set - and is truly excellent. Featuring Willi
Williams, Johnny Osbourne, Stranger Cole, Jackie Mittoo - its an
allstar cast. You can tell by the date in the title that you gets the
roots sound of the seventies right into the dancehall sound of the
eighties - but its all good stuff. And its made even better by
extensive sleevenotes and wait for it a DVD!!! This is the kind of
stuff that reggae music needs today. Even if you have the music which
is unlikely you are not going to have the rest of it. Its called a
package!!!
