New SKA and REGGAE for YOU!

Body:
What's happenin', Stubborn Massive? We've been feeling pretty good over here, so we decided to add only AWESOME music to the 800+ items we already have on http://www. stubbornrecords. com.
We've got a nice wide variety this week, with something for every kind of Ska and Reggae fan. Just look below! We think you'll not only agree, but find something that you're into, as well.


REGGAE CD'S

Shem's Disciples - Sow Melodic CD Shem's Disciples is the brainchild of percussionist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and arranger Marlon Sobol and his brother Aaron. They comfortably blend Jewish spiritualism with roots reggae, flavored with raw live hip-hop. The music is layered with vocal harmonies; slamming instrumental sections and tight rhyming that make for an electrifying musical experience.


Reegal Beegal - Version City EP Demo CDR

MODERN SKA CD'S

Cuban B - Vol. 1: Hero Wannabee'z CD (Israeli Import) With their punk-rock attitude and ass-shaking up-beat music, "Cuban B" stands out as the ska-stars of this generation. Angry guitars, groovy beat and a burning brass section make this eclectic Ska band killer. They have toured central Israel intensively, and even performed in some major festivals such as "Boombamela" while spreading the word of ska, reggae, dancehall and punk rock.


Various Artists - Unity: A Tribute to Desmond Dekker (LIMITED EDITION) CD

JAMAICAN VINYL

The Skatalites - Lawless Street / King Sporty - Lawless Street (DJ Version) LIMITED EDITION 7" BLUE VINYL (Jamaican Import) This record is an awesome piece of Jamaican music history. Lawless Street has got a driving dance beat that never quits. The horns play a sweet-but-tough melody that is simply infectious. You hear the tune as it was originally heard, from the original master tapes of the legendary Justin Yap sessions at Studio 1, featuring Don Drummond at his creative peak.


Bob Marley and The Wailers - One Love b/w Version 7" single (Jamaican Import) Bob Marley and The Wailers spread a message of love, peace, unity and spirituality that connected to huge audiences all over the world. One Love may be Marley's most enduring song and message. This is the original upbeat Ska version from Studio 1. The harmonies are great, and Marley sounds like a kid because he was just a teenager when it was recorded! The B-side is a cool modernized dub version of the Ska original.


Barrington Levy - My Woman b/w Dub 7" single (Jamaican Import) Barrington Levy is one of the biggest names in Reggae and Dancehall. He's been rocking riddims with his smooth vocal stylings since the late 1970's. This is one of his early hits on the late Joe Gibbs' label. The tune's riddim is mellow and bass-heavy, featuring great horn accents and a great dancing beat. This is a must-have tune inna early Rub-a-Dub style from a legendary artist/producer combo.


Ranking Slackness (General Echo) - Slackest LP Vinyl LP (Jamaican Import) One of the first examples of so-called "Slack", or dirty dancehall by the late great General Echo. This is for fans of early dancehall DJ's like Yellowman, Lone Ranger, Eek-A-Mouse, etc. It's that late 70's/early 80's rub-a-dub dancehall style, with every tune on a classic riddim. The delivery is perfect, and the tunes range from sexy to funny, with many a combination of both.
