Various Artists/Soul Jazz Records Presents - 600% Dynamite! Ska, Soul, Rocksteady, Funk and Dub in Jamaica

‘600% DYNAMITE!’ is the critically acclaimed Soul Jazz Records compilation series of Jamaican music, praised for its eclectic selection of upbeat reggae, ska, soul, rocksteady, dancehall, funk and dub, satisfying both connoisseurs and newcomers alike.

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.

With party classics and non-stop reggae anthems such as Tenor Saw’s ‘Golden Hen’, The Uniques’ ‘Queen Majesty’, Johnny Osbourne’s ‘Buddy Bye’ and many more, ‘600% DYNAMITE!’ is an addictive mix of well-known classics and rarities.

Classic artists such as Dennis Brown, Johnny Osbourne, I Roy, Yabby You and Tenor Saw feature alongside classic and rare tracks by lesser known artists, including Tall T and The Touchers, Prince Mohammed and more. From the funky rocksteady of Dennis Brown and Johnny Osbourne to the lovers style of Sandra Reid, from the classic roots of Yabby You to the dancehall style of Alozade & Hollow 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.

The artwork features the classic image of Althea and Donna by the celebrated photographer Dennis Morris (Sex Pistols / Bob Marley). LP pressing on Transparent Yellow heavyweight double vinyl.
