Blunted in the Backroom: Mixed By the Nextmen

Search: The Upsetters - Return Of Django
by: Nextmen

Release Date September 05, 2005
This mix displays a broad, varied knowledge of Reggae. It's excellent. The nextmen add a distinct HipHop feel to the proceedings and it's put together fantastically, as you would expect. If you like your Reggae and Dancehall carefully chosen and really well mixed then this is for you.

This Is England OST

Search: The Upsetters - Return Of Django
by: Various Artists

Release Date April 23, 2007
The music's fine - the Ludovico Einaudi instrumental tracks particularly - but why, oh why, are there five dialogue tracks on this CD? You don't want to listen to them time after time!!! Also the listing as on this site when I bought the CD is wrong - there are only 24 tracks not 26 as shown - these two are missing: 17. Elgar: Pomp And Circumstance March No.1 In D Major + 19. Maggie Gave A Thistle - and the order of the others differs somewhat...

Don Letts Presents The Mighty Trojan Sound

Search: The Upsetters - Return Of Django
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 26, 2008
The problems i had in deliberating over whether to part my hard earned cash were 2 fold. a) this is a trojan compilation which means (for the most part) too little wheat and too much chaff. b)the last don letts comp on heavenly jukebox had some classics (most of which i had) but the supporting cast were somewhat turgid.

The quality of this album came as a big surprise for amongst the reggae staples: 'wear you to the ball','54/46', 'man next door'etc... were some stone cold classics from the rocker's era, that i was amazed had never been plundered by the legions of reggae compilers before: 'mistry babylon', 'burn babylon', 'rockers no crackers' are in my opinion some of the best reggae ever committed to wax - totally sublime and backed ...

Ska: AKA

Search: The Upsetters - Return Of Django
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 03, 2003
What a truly marvelous album. Obviously aimed squarely at my post forty demographic, who witnessed the emergence of two tone and the ska revival that followed.
It could have dropped the fishbone track and the buster bloody blood vessels special brew in favour of say The Maytals "Pressure Drop", The Pioneers "Time Hard" and "Long shot kick de bucket". These are only minor quibbles. Go on, buy it.
