Stiff Little Fingers - 2002 - Anthology



Stiff Little Fingers - 2002 - Anthology (Flac)



An updated replacement for 1983's ace double-LP singles collection, A and B-sides, All the Best (then issued as a farewell when the band initially split-up), Anthology takes that tracklist and adds nine later songs off the singles from the four LPs that have come since the band returned circa 1988. While this revised collection is still somewhat weakened by the necessary inclusions of the lesser, cheaper-done debut single versions of "Suspect Device" and "Wasted Life" over the fireball re-recordings/classics on 1979's immortal first LP (and true punk rock touchstone) Inflammable Material, otherwise, there is nary a wrong turn. It's an effective simple document that charts the band's sure-footed evolution from Belfast's potent answer to the Clash -- and makers of one of the hottest, most exciting, and strife-torn-reflective LPs ever-to a cranking power-pop outfit (and, since coming back, a still-effective group still monkeying with the later formula). If this collection does nothing but remind that there was still so much to enjoy in 1981-1982 SLF singles from the later LPs Go for It and Now Then..., such as "Bits of Kids" and "Just Fade Away," then it can at least reflect that the group was never static or unafraid to alienate their initial second-wave punk base. Finally, disc three further tacks on the older Virgin live LP See You Up There! for those who missed that. (AllMusic)

Black Uhuru - 1983 - The Dub Factor



Black Uhuru - 1983 - The Dub Factor (Flac)



 Released the same year as their Grammy-winning Anthem album, Black Uhuru's The Dub Factor figures as one of the most impressive of reggae's electronic age dub releases. Bristling from the fine mixing work of Soljie and Maxie, the album is basically a reworking of the band's breakthrough Chill Out release from the year before, albeit in often unrecognizable form. But if you like your dub with a healthy dose of apocalyptic effects from syndrums, synthesizers, and mixing board alike, then The Dub Factor will do the trick. More than just a empty exercise in knob twiddling, this Black Uhuru dub excursion by Sly & Robbie will no doubt please both fans of the group and habituates of quality dub titles.(AllMusic)

Marvin Gaye - 1973 - Let’s Get It On (Deluxe Edition) (2023)


Marvin Gaye - 1973 - Let’s Get It On (Deluxe Edition) (2023) @320



In a momentous celebration of its golden milestone, the iconic album “Let’s Get It On” by Marvin Gaye has returned in a lavish 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition. This release comes loaded with a treasure trove of 33 bonus tracks, an assortment of previously unreleased demos, alternate takes, and remixes that transport listeners into the heart of Marvin Gaye’s creative genius.

First released in the sultry summer of 1973, “Let’s Get It On” became an instant classic, an anthem of passion and intimacy. Now, five decades later, this Deluxe Edition takes us deeper into Marvin Gaye’s musical journey. Among the glittering array of bonus content are alternate mixes that reveal new facets of familiar favorites, forgotten singles that resurface to captivate a new generation, and fresh remixes that fuse contemporary beats with Gaye’s timeless soul.

What makes this anniversary edition truly special are the recordings that lay hidden in the vaults, preserved for aficionados and newcomers alike. The collection showcases precious gems from Gaye’s sessions with the talented arranger David Van DePitte, underscoring the intricate artistry that went into the making of the original album. The vocals-only recordings from 1973 add an intimate touch, a glimpse into the raw emotion and vocal prowess that defined Marvin Gaye’s signature style.

For those who have been touched by the magic of “Let’s Get It On,” this Deluxe Edition is an unparalleled gift. And for those new to Marvin Gaye’s musical universe, it’s an invitation to explore an era of soulful artistry and heartfelt lyricism. Dive into the lush arrangements, the velvety melodies, and the lyrics that continue to resonate across generations.

Feel the groove, embrace the passion, and relive the magic that has enthralled audiences for half a century. (StupidDope)

The Sid Presley Experience – Are You Experienced (The Complete Anthology) (2010)


*leeds - Before they became The Godfathers, this band was know as The Sid Presley Experience, who only released two singles, this anthology collects those singles together with BBC radio session tracks, live and remix tracks.  The version on discogs has 17 tracks but this version, which I think someone has home made, has a total of 25 tracks, will add a screenshot for the tracklist. I have two copies of this and the both have the same results on FTF, 22 tracks @320 1 track (15) @192 & 2 tracks (10 & 11) @96. So sorry but thats the way it comes!! I have looked for replacement tracks without success, thanks goes to who ever complied this home compilation.

Reggae: 3251 - 3275 @320

 


So it's Wednesday March 26th and we are sharing the next instalment (3251 to 3275) of this collection of reggae. Have just seen a post on Jnr site, saying that this collection will finish at 4444. So we still have a long way to go to the end. Will be back at the weekend with another instalment!! 

Jnr has made the decision to close the site down, which can't be an easy decision to make, but people giving him grief over the decision doesn't help anybody. You need to respect his choice and move on, the mix is continuing until track 4444 here on Vibes, so your still going to get the music. 

The links as normal are in the comments. If you discover a link not active in this series, then just shout in the comments and I will rectify the situation. They are all backed up in a mega account ready to re post!! Quickly and easily. 

Please don't forget if you take a copy then take the time to say thanks!! take's just a few seconds only!!
