It has been a while since we had a year this good for full length reggae releases. So good that I bought enough albums (physical copies that is) to make a reggae top 10 (new releases) for the year. Here we go:
1. Samory I – Black Gold
2. Damian Marley – Stony Hill
3. Courtney John – Ecosystem
4. Junior Natural feat. Sly & Robbie – Militant
5. Frightnrs – More To Say Versions
6. Jesse Royal – Lily of Da Valley
7. Chronixx – Chronology
8. Ghetto Priest – Every Man For Every Man
9. Spiritual – Awakening
10. Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry & Subatomic Sound System – Super Ape Returns to Conquer
Special mention for this digital only release: Randy Valentine – New Narrative. Love it.
Didn’t get that many singles this year, but do also want to make special mention of the return of Roots Tribe / Slimmah Sound to the recording scene with two wicked, brand new 45s by Mark Wonder and Danny Red. Here's hoping for more in 2018.
