VA - 600% DYNAMITE! Ska, Soul, Rocksteady, Funk and Dub in Jamaica (CD)
New 2026 Edition of 600% Dynamite, part of Soul Jazz Records classic compilation series of Jamaican music, featuring killer reggae in all styles - ska, soul, rocksteady, dancehall, funk and dub.
Originally released in 2003 this album has been out of print for nearly 20 years making it one of the most-collectible of Soul Jazz Records’ Dynamite! Series. This is the first ever colour vinyl edition of this classic album.
Newly remastered and relicensed for 2026, the album is packed with dancefloor classics and non-stop reggae anthems such as Tenor Saw’s ‘Golden Hen’, Johnny Osbourne’s ‘Buddy Bye’, Dennis Brown’s ‘Wolf & Shepard’ and Sister Nancy’s ’Transport Connection' alongside hard-to-find cuts by Tall T and the Touchers, The Interns, Tetrack and others, making the album a superlative mix of well-known classics and rarities.
New tracks on this edition includes the super heavyweight Interns ‘Nothing is Impossible’, wicked rocksteady with the Bleechers ‘Come Into My Parlour' and tough roots from Junior Byles ‘Long Way’ and more.
From the funky rocksteady of Dennis Brown to the lovers rock of Sandra Reid, and from the sublime digital roots of Tetrack to the dancehall styles of Johnny Osbourne and Papa San - it’s all here, reggae in all styles! 600% Dynamite is the next instalment in a series that became a who’s who of Reggae music.
