Youthman Skanking - 2024 Reissue

    Classic Roots Reggae album from 1982 produced by Prince Jammy at Channel On and King Tubby's.

    Includes the hit singles 'Isim' 'Skism' and 'Ain't No Me Without You' as well as the authentic title track.

    Youthman Skanking is a sterling addition to what would become known as the Roots based 'Waterhouse Sound' spearheaded by Black Uhuru.

    Wayne Smith & Jammy would go on to be a major influence on the whole world of music with the game- changing, genre derying hit 'Under Me Sleng Teng' but Youthman Skanking is where it all began.

    This deluxe re- issue of Youthman Skanking was remastered from 24- bit digital audio sources provided by King Jammy.

              STAFF COMMENTS

              Matt says: Read the above! ALL TIME CLASSIC. All three volumes are dub reggae corner stones. For a while the licenses were feverishly contested (and consequently bootlegged to buggary), but VP seem to have sorted all that out with an official set that sounds crisper and fatter than all those dodgy boots. Maximum jahs on this one folks!

                  STAFF COMMENTS

                  Matt says: Classic Jammy's from just before he went digital! Mixed at Tubby's it's full of that authentic original dub flavour and shows he was just as skilled and mixing these styles as he would later, dancehall.

                    Flesh Of My Skin - Remastered Original 1974 Mix

                    The original 1974 release of Keith Hudson's Flesh Of My Skin showcased the enduring strength and pivotal importance of the development of reggae music, Keith Hudson's complete mastery of the genre and the unqualified praise that followed its release was fully justified. This suburb re-master features the original mix available or the first time since the 1974 Mamba pressing and comes with the addition of the 45 only 'Darkest Night Version' and the restoration of the lost 'My Nocturne' omitted from the 1988 & 2004 remix versions. Also includes the previously unreleased 'Hunting Version' as a hidden track
