Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

Vinyl meet up and release party of the 684 in Hamburg today.
Planned with @Tago-Mago a short tour through some Vinyl shops. We totally forgot RSD so it was overcrowded at the hot spots.

But beautiful on the side roads. This is the Pure Soul Record Shop for example.

And yes, some beers with @endo and a lot of more beautiful people included!

We talked about you @GraemeE

GraemeE

@Aetas did you pick anything up?

Aetas

Was searching for some Lee Scratch Perry.
Everything I found was recorded after he set his Black Arc Studio on fire.
Not only the studio was missing to him afterwards ;-).
By the way, second hand vinyl prices in Hamburg are astronomical.

GraemeE

@Aetas I only have one of his and its a fairly modern re-issue of revolution dub from 1975

Was that before or after the studio fire ?

endo

That's the one I was talking about last night, @Steve , if you remember.

goosehd

@endo great album!

Aetas

Lee “Scratch” Perry and the Upsetters - Return of the Super Ape
Trojan Music on Vinyl re-release 2022

@GraemeE :

…revolution dub from 1975.
Was that before or after the studio fire ?

Before!
His first studio fire was around 1979. It happened again with his Swiss studio in 2015.
The record above is his last but one in his Jamaican studio. The cover speaks fore itself ;-).
Was searching for his one year older but prettier sibling The Upsetters - Superape.

Found some in HH, but could have bought an IHT for the price instead …(ended up doing exactly that).

endo

another rabbit hole

Steve

@endo I do, I will have a good listen to them

GraemeE

@Aetas I just looked it up

The '79 fire was intentional?!
For purification apparently

GraemeE

I think ive come to the conclusion , after listening to these 2 super ape albums, that im going to need some more good dub album recomendations from anyone willing to offer.

At this point I think my collection only has a couple King Tubby, a couple Augustus Pablo and one Lee Perry.

What are the classic albums I need to be digging into (the kind of blue, take 5, sunday at the village vanguard of the dub world)

@Aetas @endo @J-IV or anyone else?

@GraemeE said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

What are the classic albums I need to be digging into

I'm new here and have no idea, but I'm also interested in the answer.

endo

This one is interesting.

Aetas

Definitely a rabbit hole.
Started on 7” B-Sides in the 70’. Full 12’’ from Jamaican producers in the late 70’ and 80’, who influenced a lot of genres and all this later dub to come.
Punk (Clash), PostPunk (Public Image Ltd.), Drum and Bass (Massive Attack). There was even Dub-Techno and more.
Two staples to me are Scientist who radiates until today and Mad Professor without DnB wouldn’t sound like it does.
