Marcia Griffiths

The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face / Gypsy Man

    This exceptional release brings together two of Marcia Griffiths’ most remarkable recordings. Both tracks originally appeared on her acclaimed debut solo album Sweet and Nice, produced by Lloyd Charmers and released on Trojan Records in 1974. These two gorgeous tracks are extremely popular today as highlighted by the hundreds of thousands views on Youtube but incredibly, this is the very first time these two gems are issued on a 7" single!

    Fever / Influenza Dub

      “Fever” and its Dub version “Influenza Dub” were released together around 1974 (exact year unknown but it has been registered for copyrights in 1974 & 1972) on 7” vinyl on the Upsetter label in Jamaica only… This is therefore the very first release on 7” vinyl of these two Reggae masterpieces outside of Jamaica and it is the first reissue of the original Jamaican single on 7”, finally making these two exceptional and popular tracks available again in their original iconic format. The original Jamaican pressings are now quite rare, expensive and highly in demand among collectors and Reggae enthusiasts alike.

      King Horror

      Dracula Prince Of Darkness / Ghost Hour

        Initially "Dracula Prince Of Darkness" was a cult 1966 horror movie starring Cristopher Lee. Released in 1969, Dracula Prince Of Darkness was produced by Joe Mansano on the Duke label DU034 (but featuring the blue Joe label) with the great instrumental Honky by the Joe's All Stars on the flip. It was the very first title in the King Horror series and one of the very best tracks. It is widely believed that it is Laurel Aitken who is performing on it!

        This irresistible track "Ghost Horror" was the last in the King Horror series and was only released as a B-side on a white label that never got released. This was in 1970 on the Reggae label. Reggae was a subsidiary of UK label Doctor Bird and only released around ten singles between 1969 and 1970, all highly collectibles including tracks by King Horror, The Message, Pama Dice and the Skinhead Reggae instrumental classic "Tea House" by The Opening. Ghost Hours is not the most famous King Horror track but it is the rarest and is, in our humble opinion, one of King Horror's very best tracks and a fantastic companion of the Prince of Darkness on the flip...

            Haunted House / Double Wheel

              These two tracks are wild instrumental covers of the huge hit "Spinning Wheel" by Blood, Sweat & Tears in 1969. Both tracks were produced by Lee 'Scratch' Perry on the much looked after Spinning Wheel label in 1970. Only 10 singles have been released on this label and this very single was the first release on it. These two very much in demand reggae instrumental gems were previously only reissued in a Trojan singles box aptly called Haunted House that is now also rare and expensive.

              Belly Lick / The Game Song

                This is the very first reissue of the super rare 1968 Reggay anthem Belly Lick by Dennis Walks. Originally released on the Blue Cat label, this very much sought-after single features two exceptional tracks from the golden era of Jamaican music. "Belly Lick" by Dennis Walks and "The Game Song" by Drumbago & The Blenders exemplify the rich musical landscape of late 1960s Jamaica. Both tracks were written by Dennis Walks and produced by Joe Gibbs. The original pressing has become highly collectible, with copies fetching big sums in the collectors' market…

                  This is the very first reissue of the much in demand double sided killer single released in 1970 on the Upsetter label. The A side is a beautiful yet wicked cover of Let It Be by the Beatles, produced by Lee Perry and performed by the Soulettes. The B side is Big Dog Bloxie, an even wackier version of the A side by Lee Perry!

                  She Caught The Train / Cora

                    This is the first re-release on 7 inch vinyl single of the early Reggae classic “She Caught The Train” by Ray Martell released in 1970 on the Trojan sublabel Joe in the UK and later covered by UB40 in 1983. This original song, a huge hit, has featured on many compilations but has never been repressed as a single, until now… It was initially released with the track “Tea House From Emperor Roscoe” by Dice The Boss on the B side. On this release, Harlem Shuffle chose to showcase a super rare Ray Martell song, the gorgeous “Cora” initially released on Attack in 1970.
