Skank Records

NOW AVAILABLE!



I started Skank Records in 2003 with a mission to put out crucial reggae music. And to pay the artists fair royalties for their works. So far so good.
Ossie Dellimore was my first release in 2004 with the improved re-issue of the out-of-print "Freedom's Journal (and check out "A Better Way" from it on the above player).



Three compilations followed, "Crucial Reggae From Outside Jamaica," Vol. 2 and Vol. 3. Each will knock you out. Guaranteed. I took many of my favorite songs from groups "from outside Jamaica." Dominica, St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. John, Ghana, St. Vincent, Trinidad, Canada, and the U.S. Absolutely crucial tunes. Above, you can listen to "Out of Control" by Ankh Watep (from Vol. 1), "Gun Play" by Danny I (from Vol. 2) and "Pretty Boy" by Prophet Benjamin (from Vol. 3). Each tune is awesome.



Also available is the cd from Maimon And The Mongoose Band, "Third Ear" (listen to a crucial tune from it, "Puff And Relax," above).



There is also the crucial compilation entitled "Classic Rasta From Jamaica And Beyond, Vol. 1" (and to hear one of the tunes, check out Groundation's "The SeeSaw" above).



"Strictly Roots" from Zion was released this in Spring of 2010 (and hear one of the tunes on the above player, "Alpha And Omega"). I guarantee this is another outstanding disc.



Ossie Dellimore's new disc, "Reggae Music," was released in September of 2010. Check out the opening tune, "The Secret To Success" above. It's a classic. And Zion's latest, "Crying For Freedom," was released in June of 2011.
Each cd on Skank Records has close to one hour of intense reggae, and each has a 16-page booklet with info and all the lyrics. So you can absorb everything these artists have to say. and believe me, they're saying a lot. and besides giving all the artists fair royalties, I'm also giving proceeds from all the cds to the charitable organization, "Doctors Without Borders." I send the discs out anywhere in the world and send them out within 24 hours. I absolutely guarantee these tunes will blow you away.
