Bassment Sessions Show 150: Rare Reggae Gems (Part One)

For this special episode, I sifted through hundreds of songs I felt fell into the “rare” category as most are unknown or ultra-rare 7” releases or as I call them,  Rare Reggae Gems. Music left behind in the dust of time but not forgotten. 

Part of the fun in discovering these artists becomes, who were they and where’d they go?  For many, these questions go unanswered which makes for an intriguing listen - the mystery of the many who came, recorded and vanished.

1. Black Jade ‎– I've Got To Get Back Home [1977]
2. Lacksley Castell - Be My Princess Lady [1980]

4. The Wailers & Johnny Lover - Sun is shining - Lee Perry [1971
5. The Classics - Civilization [1971]
6. Invaders - Heaven & Earth [1974 rare 7”]
7. KC White - Not The Man For You & Dub [1980]
8. The Officials - Babylonians [1974]
9. The Tellers – Back Back [1974]
10. Clinton Senior - Son Of Man [1977]
11. Alton Ellis - Son Of Man [1974]
12. Hux Brown - Drugs Man [early 70s]
