Review: Du men don't come much more legendary or iconic than King Tubby and Horace Andy, so having them together on one album was always going to result in straight fire. And so it proves on The King Tubby Tapes, a double album of deeply affecting roots and lovers rock first issued on Jet Star Records' 'Charm' imprint. It showcases Dubby's audio skills and Andy's distinctive vocal style while including selections from his 1979 album Pure Ranking and a second album of dub remixes. Session men Robbie Shakespeare, Carlton "Santa" Davis, Tony Chin and Bernard "Touter" Harvey all feature this one.

Review: Released in October 1987, Belinda's second solo album after leaving The Go-Gos proved to be her breakthrough internationally, with the single 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth' reaching number 1 all around the world. It was followed by 'Circle In The Sand', 'I Get Weak' and 'World Without You', all UK Top 40 hits, the last two being written by Diane Warren, writer of Belinda's 2023 'Kismet' EP. This new edition has been expertly mastered by Cicely Balston at AIR Mastering from the original stereo tapes using precision half-speed mastering. It's now presented in its original sleeve, pressed on 180 gram heavyweight black vinyl, and features an obi strip and housed in a poly-lined inner sleeve, with all the lyrics and credits on the four page insert.
