Summer Records Anthology: 1974-1988
Album ∙ Reggae ∙ 2007
In the wake of the explosive late ‘60s growth of the reggae sound, Jamaican communities around the world, from the Bronx to London, began to work up their own unique variations of Reggae’s infectious rhythms. The stellar Seattle based reissue label Light in The Attic has devoted a large portion of its catalogue to documenting the output of one such community. Light in The Attic’s phenomenal Summer Records Anthology gathers together some of the best material released by the label including tracks by Jamaican veterans like Johnnie Osbourne, Jackie Mittoo and Willi Williams, and homegrown talents like the willowy voiced Noel Ellis, whose careworn and meditative “Reach My Destiny” is one of this compilations standout tracks. At a time when Jamaican producers were moving towards the percussive sounds of dancehall, the folks at Summer Records cultivated a simmering, roots-based aesthetic reminiscent of the best work of legends like Lee Perry and Niney the Observer. For fans of roots reggae The Summer Records Anthology provides invaluable insight into a little known corner of reggae history.
