Review: In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the groundbreaking self-titled album from GT Moore & The Reggae Guitars originally released on Charisma in 1974 is being reissued. This record, which bridged the gap between the 'Pub Rock' scene and the emerging sound of reggae music in the UK, arrived amidst the onset of "Reggae Fever." G.T. Moore, formerly of the legendary folk group Heron, emerged as the first white musician to authentically delve into reggae. The eponymous debut album from the Reggae Guitars featured session musician John 'Rabbit' alongside Tom Platt, who engineered the iconic 'Catch A Fire' album. With a mix of originals and covers, including tracks by Bob Dylan, Heptones, and Diana Ross, the album stands as a testament to the fusion of musical styles and influences during that era.

Review: A remarkably simple yet effective new dub reissue of one of Nick Manasseh & Scruff's earliest dub records under the name Sound Iration, 'Sound Iration In Dub', released in 1989 and which set the precedent for the UK dub scene for years to come. Wholly electronically produced, and manifesting as an early example of dubtronica or steppers, we're presented with a muted style that has enjoyed a popular resurgence among new dub pushers of late. The chirpier 'Free 1' and 'Revelation Dub' are highlights.
