Description
Soul Jazz Records’ 200% Dynamite! is the ultimate reggae - funk compilation. It set the standard that remains unrivaled. After being out of print for over 15 years, the 2023 edition comes with new tracks and is a limited - edition heavyweight colored vinyl (red/blue) exclusive to Record Store Day 2023, including a download code. Packed with reggae hits like Tenor Saw’s ‘Ring the Alarm,’ K.C. White’s ‘No, No, No,’ and Augustus Pablo’s ‘Rockers Rock,’ it explores the connections between reggae, jazz, funk, and soul. Building on 100% Dynamite, it traces Jamaican reggae history and the influence of American funk and jazz. The album features funk, rocksteady from The Skatalites and Johnny Osbourne, Jamaican jazz from Tommy McCook and Byron Lee, and dub from Augustus Pablo, King Tubby, and Jackie Mittoo. New bonus tracks in 2023 are Sister Nancy’s ‘One Two’ and Chaka Demus and Pliers’ ‘Murder She Wrote,’ plus classic soul - to - reggae covers. As All Music says, it's a great primer for Jamaican music.
