Disco Devil: Jamaican Discomixes

Disco Devil: Jamaican Discomixes

2012 two CD collection. By the latter half of the '70s, Disco-mixes (extended versions of tracks) were de rigueur throughout popular music. The trend was particularly suited to Reggae, as vocal cuts could be spliced with DJ or Dub cuts to create long-playing versions singles - and there was no greater exponent of the disco-mix format than Lee 'Scratch' Perry. From 1976 to 1980, Perry created some of the most sublime 12' singles ever to see issue and the very best of these works are collected here on this long overdue collection. Aimed not just at Perry enthusiasts, but also those wishing to discover the very best in Roots Reggae sounds, this is undoubtedly the finest collection of Reggae disco-mixes yet to see issue.
