{"product_id":"various-artists-observer-master-mix-collection-various-cd","title":"Various Artists - Observer Master Mix Collection \/ Various (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails: \u003c\/strong\u003eFour CD set. Most recordings not officially available for 5 decades. Includes some of the giants of Jamaican music. Features many of the biggest reggae hits of the late 70s. After first being introduced in the early 70s, the 12\" single had become the format of choice for many of Jamaica's leading producers by the decade's close, with few Kingston-based music makers more attracted to it's range and flexibility than Winston Holness AKA Niney the Observer. Between 1977 and 1978, Niney released a series of 'disco-mix' singles in both Jamaica and the UK, with a number of these coming housed in eye-catching 'Observer Master Mix'-branded picture sleeves. Popular among DJs and record buyers on both sides of the Atlantic, the singles showcased the work of some of reggae leading artists, whose number included such Jamaican music luminaries as Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown, Horace Andy, Junior Byles and Freddie McGregor. Yet despite the widespread popularity of these extended mixes, most have remained officially unavailable on any format since their original issue almost half a century ago. Now at long last, the best of these recordings can finally be enjoyed once more without the need to pay a small fortune for the privilege, with this anthology comprising a veritable feast of superior roots, dub and DJ sounds. While the tracks range from major hits to painfully rare obscurities, the quality of the material remains of the highest order throughout, culminating in a truly essential collection for all those appreciative of late 70s reggae sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRock On \/ Saturday Night - Gregory Isaacs ; Christine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rocking Chair \/ National Front Rockers - Delroy Wilson ; Dillinger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sufferation - Tyrone Taylor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jah I \/ Observer Style - The Jewels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Stop In The Name Of Love \/ Stop In The Name Of The Lord – Delroy Wilson ; Dillinger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ja Is My Light \/ Wicked East Dirt - Leroy Smart ; I Roy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tenement Yard \/ Kill Landlord - Dennis Brown ; Ranking Buckers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Them Never Tell I \/ Lie Teacher Gal - Horace Andy ; Ranking Buckers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cry Cry - Junior Delgado\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Black Is The Highest Culture - The Jewels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Do Good \/ Judge Not Observer Style - Freddie McGregor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Blessed Are The Men \/ The Pill - Dennis Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rock On \/ Murder Observer Style - Gregory Isaacs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Heart is Clean - Gate Number - Cornel Campbell ; Dillinger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Run Come Rally \/ Rastaman Rally - Freddie McGregor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Run Run - Junior Byles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One Little Lick aka Mr. Bigman - The Jewels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Zimbabwe - The Soul Syndicate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Whole Lot A Fire \/ Blowing Fire - Big Youth ; The I Frequent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Can You Feel It - Junior Byles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jamaican Girl \/ First Cut And Version - I Roy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Move On - The Heptones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rasta Clean \/ Zig Zag - Niney\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Crystal Blue Persuasion - The Heptones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Through The Fire I Come - The Heptones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rasta Have Faith– Freddie McGregor ; The Observers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Here I Come Again \/ Flat Foot Husting - Dennis Brown ; Dillinger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Loosing You - The Heptones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mr Knows It All - Gregory Isaacs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jah Jah Higher Than I - The Rockstones as Mr Stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mount Zion (vinyl dub) - The Heptones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Blood and Fire - Niney The Observer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e War Of The Stars - Ossie ; The Revolutionaries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Every Day Life - The Heptones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Oh No Not My Baby - Freddie McGregor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Confusion In A Babylon \/ Mutiny - Niney ; The Heptones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Book Of Rules - The Heptones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Guess Who's Coming to Dinner - Michael Rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Africa - Dennis Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bring The Couchie Come - The Reggae Crusaders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Clap The Barber \/ Run Baldhead Dub - Michael Rose ; The Observer All Stars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Materialist \/ Poor Man Style - Horace Andy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Paymaster \/ Captives - Gregory Isaacs ; Ranking Buckner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Psalms 68 \/ Dub 68 – Horace Andy ; The Observer All Stars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wolf ; Leopard \/ No Conscience - Dennis Brown ; The Soul Syndicate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Weeping \/ Water Rate - Junior Byles ; I Roy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mix Up – Niney ; The Morwells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jah Fire – Niney\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Trodding Along – Reggae George\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jah Guide- Naggo Morris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50400950747410,"sku":"5013929284241","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/4340392-3181933.jpg?v=1729119133","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/various-artists-observer-master-mix-collection-various-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
