We've just received one of the most interesting and exciting items we've ever had. It's Lee Perry's classic 1975 vinyl LP "Kung Fu Meets the Dragon" in stunning PICTURE DISC! An EBreggae exclusive (limited to 500 copies worldwide).
Kung Fu Meets The Dragon is one of our top-10 selling albums of all time, and for good reason: it's a legendary dub album featuring Lee Perry & the Upsetters at Black Ark Studio, circa 1975. Don't miss this!

KING SPINNA is an exciting new reissue label formed by the folks from the legendary BLOOD AND FIRE label. Blood and Fire was the predominant reissue label from the mid-1990's to the mid-2000's. Their professionalism and attention to detail showed that it was a true labor of love.
Fast forward to 2011: they just couldn't stay away from the reissue business and now we've been blessed with an exciting new label. The first release is a stunning collection of Bunny Lee dubs, certainly one of the best collections of his material. These releases will not remain available for long periods of time as the pressing runs are limited, so please buy them when you see them! Speaking of Blood and Fire, do a label search on our website and you'll still find a few of their goodies..get them while they last!

There's been a precipitous drop in 7 inch "riddims". Many customers have asked us "why"? After carefully logging complaints from our customers, we have compiled a list that addresses the issue. Here is the list, and again THIS IS COMING STRAIGHT FROM OUR CUSTOMER BASE OF 75,000+ SO PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT COMING FROM ERNIE B'S:
1) The lack of good, conscious lyrics. Our customers barrage us with complaints that the music sounds the same and serves no purpose (lyrics with violence, denigration to women, too much boasting, etc.)
2) Riddims not like the old days. Our dancehall customers appreciate the mid-late 80's computer style and the early 80's rub a dub style (we can't remember the last time someone asked us for a list of our killer 1990's or 2000's tunes!!!).
3) Horrible pressings. The quality of pressings from Jamaica dropped off about 5 years ago, perhaps due to plants closing and perhaps also to less attention to quality.
4) Other ways to get the music. MP3's, friends copying songs to a CD, etc., having taken their toll. However, there is still a large market for good reggae vinyl and there always will be.
People want good dancehall music and good pressings. Perhaps a flash back into the 1980's will help, if more producers can redo vintage riddims then things will take off. A perfect example is the redo of Ko Lo Ko and One Big Ghetto on the Maximum Sounds label that we received today. Foundation riddims, great singing/DJing, great lyrics. Thank you to the producer Frenchie for leading the charge!
Thank you to all that have contributed their thoughts. Of course, we all agree that there is plenty of great reggae music coming from Europe and the rest of world in the form of new roots, steppers and dub. But we all want great dancehall too!

We're happy to announce that two record stores (unrelated stores), one in Florida and one in California, have recently purchased nearly 1,000 different titles from us through a special program that we offered. Both of these stores now have a HUGE selection of reggae from us, CD's and vinyl. Please visit Park Ave CD's & Vinyl at 2916 Corrine Dr, Orlando, Florida and also Fingerprints Records, 420 E 4th St, Long Beach, California. Both of these stores are working very closely with us to provide a great reggae selection, and since they are willing to take a risk with such a huge purchase we hope that you can help support these and other stores that we sell to. Record stores are the lifeblood of the industry and without them record labels (and us) would not exist! Also, if your local record store does not buy from us then please send us an email so we can get them hooked up! Thank you for your support.

This is one of the most requested re-issues since we started our business. After being out of print for 30 years, it is finally here: EARL SIXTEEN's epic album produced by Mikey Dread. Backed by the Roots Radics along with Sly & Robbie "REGGAE SOUND" has all of the classic Mikey Dread rhythms. Superb sound quality on CD and LP. The CD has 8 outstanding bonus dub tracks, along with 3 more bonus extended mixes. An incredible album. Earl Sixteen at his very best and Mikey Dread at the top of his game (well, actually he was at the top of his game all the way from the late 70's to early 80's!). Don't miss this or the other classic Mikey Dread releases.

If you like great roots reggae from 1979-1980 (who doesn't?) then check out the recent arrivals on the G Revolutionary Sounds label. Excellent pressings from the UK! Our favorite is the 'Jah No Partial' tune from Cultural Roots. Selling out fast..

Channel One productions was a huge force in quality reggae music from the mid-1970's to 1984. Countless hit singles and classic albums were released on their labels Channel One, Hit Bound, Well Charge, Disco Mix and others. We're pleased to offer the world's largest selection of Channel One recordings. Thanks to our excellent relationship with them and their willingness to sell to us at reasonable prices, we continue to offer this crucial line of roots, rockers, dub & early-80's dancehall at very attractive prices. Please show your support (and gratitude for the low prices) to Channel One by exploring their catalog of CD's, LP's 12", 10" and 7"! Our favorite picks (that you may have missed) are Barry Brown 'Dread Full Day' 10", Leroy Smart 'Jah The Creator' 12", Hell & Fire 'Pointless Killing' 7", Sammy Dread 'Road Block' LP, and the CD 'General For All General'.

We just received an outstanding "mix-CD" from Lionheart Sounds. This is a high-quality "legal" CD featuring conscious lyrics from Pressure, Ras Attitude, Niyorah, Messenjah Selah, etc. Nice packaging and of course it's a factory replicated "normal" CD (not a CD-R). Highly recommended!

We've just received some very nice LP's from Studio One. These Jamaican pressings are much better than before. No Jamaican pressings are perfect, but these are pretty good. They did a great job on the jackets too (clean artwork, good construction, etc.) These titles will go fast so we recommend that you load up!!! DJ's should note that the King Stitt LP is loaded with vintage intros!

It's a good time to check our USED CD's. We just lowered the prices about 25% to 50% on almost every item! There are 3 choices to select from when searching the website: NEW, USED or NEW+USED (the place to make this selection is just under the "HOW RECENT" dropdown). After selecting USED, select CD for format and then click SEARCH NOW. That will bring up all USED CD's. Please note, after each search you must select USED again because it defaults back to NEW+USED. Be sure to check out the Congos - Heart of the Congos Used CD...this is a bargain and it's out of print (we have a few used copies). More titles to get: Ticklah vs Axelrod for $2.99, Kymani - Journey for $3.99!!!

We need to make some warehouse space for new product coming in! We have dramatically lowered the price on EVERY Used LP on our website (prices are now 20% to 50% lower than before!)
You can choose to have only "Used" items appear in search results by selecting the "Used" button each time you search. The default search results are always New+Used, so you need to change this selection each time you search if you ONLY want Used to appear.
To view all of the Used LPs at once, type in "Used" in the Search field, then select LP for Format, and then click the Search button. This will show every used LP in stock.
After you search, you can change the sort (by price, alphabetical by artist, etc) of any search result by clicking the Change Sort button.
You can view hi-resolution images of the front and back of each LP (this is handy for viewing the track list on the back).
Enjoy!

We've finally got our hands on Jr. Reid's "Lost Vinyl Classics" CD (this is CD only). No other Jr. Reid CD comes close to this. Super-rare early tracks, including the extended mix of Speak the Truth (his first recording, produced by Hugh Mundell when Jr. Reid was 13). Also include some amazing Negus Roots tracks. In all there are 5 tracks with extended mixes, and if's that's not enough there's even 2 dub plates on the Hot Milk and Real Rock rhythms. DO NOT MISS THIS CD, IT IS VERY HARD FOR US TO GET THESE SO PLEASE BU IT SOON!!! If you like early-1980's reggae, especially Roots Radics, then this is for you.

I would like to turn you on to an incredible new reissue label out of New York. The label is called Digikiller, and they are pressing some unbelievable 1980s digital tunes! These tunes are VERY rare (in fact I have never seen some of them!) and they range from excellent to TOTALLY KILLER. I highly recommend every title they have put out so far. The pressings are perfect and they are painstakingly mastered so they are clean and vibrant sounding. The prices are a bit high but the quality is amazing. These will sell for big bucks down the road on eBay...
