Well Charged
An excellent compolation from the very productive Channel One studio, both John Holt tracks are typical JH style, but the tracks that stand out for me are Leftist & Version by the Revolutionaries & Shaka the Great by the Overnight Players which are great instamentals/dub tracks. Well done Pressure Sounds for unearthing some great treasures, & all for 11 quid, cant be bad! |

Well Charged - Els Revolutionaries a Channel One
Els germans Ernest & Joseph "JoJo" Hoo Kim operaben durant els 70's amb el Sound System WELL CHARGED efectuant gravacions de primer ordre de solistes, Djs i grups acompanyats per The Revolutionaries de Sly Dunbar a CHANNEL ONE Recording Studio, a 29 Maxfield Avenue, Kingston, que recollían principalment en les companyies discogràfiques HITBOUND i WELL CHARGED. En aquesta excelent compilació apareixen joies extretes dels masters originals, de Ernest Wilson, John Holt i Leroy Smart, lóbscur Enforcer, Dj's I Roy i Trinity i grups Earth & Stone i Wailing Souls, a més de compactes versions instrumentals dels Revolutionaries. Al llibret de 8 fulls apareixen fotos de l'època, tot ben empaquetat, a l'estil que acostuma Pressure Sounds. Un disc rodó. |

Track Listing
As usual, another winner from Pressure Sounds, with great sound quality and interesting tunes ... but the track listing is faulty and there seems to be some duplication of tracks where there should be accompanying vocal or dub versions, as applicable. I'd encourage Pressure Sounds to post for download (as a color .pdf file, perhaps) a revised/corrected back side to the liner notes. |
