Soul Jazz Recordsâ 200% Dynamite! set the benchmark for reggae meets funk compilations that has never been bettered. Out of print for over 15 years this new 2023 edition with new tracks and is being released in a one-off limited-edition heavyweight special-edition coloured vinyl pressing + download code exclusively for Record Store Day 2023. Jam-packed with reggae tunes that crossed-over to become dancefloor hits such as Tenor Sawâs sound boy anthem âRing the Alarm,â K.C. Whiteâs classic cut of the seminal âNo, No, Noâ and Augustus Pabloâs âRockers Rockâ, 200% Dynamite explores the links between reggae, jazz, funk and soul. Carrying on perfectly from 100% Dynamite, this second compilation continues to trace the history of Jamaican reggae and the influence of American styles such as funk and jazz had on this music. Featured here are serious funk and rocksteady tunes from the likes of The Skatalites and Johnny Osbourne through to Jamaican jazz from masters such as Tommy McCook and Byron Lee, as well as some serious dub from the likes of Augustus Pablo, King Tubby and Jackie Mittoo. New bonus tracks on this new 2023 edition include seminal dancehall party cuts Sister Nancyâs âOne Twoâ and Chaka Demus and Pliersâ âMurder She Wroteâ, alongside classic soul to reggae covers including cuts of Marlena Shawâs âWomen of the Ghettoâ and Odysseyâs âDonât Tell Me Tell Herâ. // âOnce again, Soul Jazz goes digging through the reggae vaults and produces another sterling compilation. If youâre looking for a primer on the music of the island, you could do worse than buying every one of the records in this superb compilation series.â All Music (This is a 2023 Record Store Day release.)
