The Wailers - Sequels of Love Part 2 - 1977-1978



I know it's been a while, but TH3MOV3M3NT is finally bringing the Sequels of Love collection to a close with it's sequel. This 2 CD set includes rare tracks from the London Masters which a lot were released as singles by Island Records, then later released on rare copies of their multi-platinum 1984 compilation album Legend which was replaced by the album mixes later in 1990.

The 2nd disc includes a rare leaked demo tape from the Exodus & Kaya sessions. With it's A-side including rare alternate versions like Kaya, Jamming, & Running Away. The tape's B-side exposes some of their rarest dubbed versions of songs like Misty Morning, Roots, Easy Skanking. The quality was VERY poor when I got it, however I restored and remastered it to my best ability. There may be other versions of these tapes leaked; it's not determined if a crystal clear copy still exist, if ever.

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Still Talkin'


Special Tribute to the 1991 Island Records/Tuff Gong release "Talkin' Blues".

Exactly 24 years ago in Miami, Florida, Bob and his band mates were rehearsing for the Kaya tour. Many concerts were recorded on soundboards and eventually mixed down to the live album that all fans know as "Babylon By Bus". This double disc album captures The Wailers in their prime, and filled with interviews during and after the Kaya tour. The 1977 "Morning Train" rehearsals are also included as a bonus for all hardcore Wailers fans out there. The original copies to both sessions were H-O-R-R-I-D, and they were mixed to my BEST abilities. You can find the original copies online if you're lucky. If you already own both Miami & Morning Train rehearsals, I'd still recommend you still give this a try. I'm sure you'll notice the change in quality immediately! Enjoy and JAH bless!

You can purchase Bob Marley & The Wailers' Talkin' Blues on Amazon.com or at a record store near you!

Bob Marley & the Wailers - Staring in the Sun - Natty Dread '74


This compilation consist of all of the rare and (previously) unreleased material from the Wailers 1974  release 'Natty Dread'. Unlike many tapes that have been passed along throughout the world wide web, none of these tracks show resemblance to the original Island Records/Tuff Gong release from '74. Rather it be the mixture, the lyrics, or even the time slot, you will immediately know the difference between the songs off this compilation and the original. I & I took the liberty to add "Ion Lion Zion" & "Am-A-Do" being that they were recorded during the Natty Dread sessions but were not released until after Bob's untimely death.

Happy Birthday Robert "Bob" Nesta Marley

The Wailers - Sequels of Love '77 (aka The Horn Mixes)


YES I! The long awaited 2-disc set is finally here. This is the first half of the Exodus & Kaya Sessions, which a small section was released on the internet and named "The Horn Mixes". Many were lucky enough to stumble across this, which raised a few brows about other demo sessions of other album releases that were kept secret for so many years. So to all who own the so called "Horn Mixes", here's that in it's entirety! To those who never stumbled across that set, don't fret. You won't be missing anything, but gaining far more that those who have the "Horn Mix" copy and have no knowledge of this full set.

I remember as a youth I would always listen to Exodus around the Holiday Season, take this as a Holiday gift! I even added 2 Bonus Tracks from the 2012" Mix sessions!!!! Sequels of Love '78 COMING SOON!

Peace, Love, iNity!

The Wailers - Songs of Redemption


Songs of Redemption aka The Buffalo Soldier Tapes, is a collection of the 7" & 12" single releases from the Trilogy Sessions. All of these singles are alternates from the album versions. Even the slightest differences that the untrained ear might not capture off hand, but with comparison you'll find the difference within mixes (like So Much Trouble in the World).

This here is a little bonus for the long awaited sequel to Black Survival '79, Uprising Confrontation '80. You have the demos, now you have the opportunity to own the alternate single mixes. Think of it as the extended piece of the Trilogy Session's puzzle. This 2-CD set also includes an old Wailers classic performed live in Jamaica, 1979. This was the ONLY performance of this re-released classic, never again was it performed anywhere else! Luckily it was bootlegged for I&I to remaster to throw into this awesome collection. Enjoy. JAH Bless.

Track Listing
1. Coming in From the Cold
2. Buffalo Soldier
3. One Drop/One Dub
4. Blackman Redemption
6. Wake Up & Live [Parts 1 & 2, Full Mix]

Gregory Isaacs - Cool Ruler Returns! 1984-1986



Simply in memory of one of the greatest Reggae singers of all time, I&I would like to present a compilation of Mr. Isaacs' best in his underdog years. This compilation focuses mainly after his two successful albums on Island Records Night Nurse (1982) & Out Deh! (1983).

I&I was reading a biography one day about Gregory, and it seems like his discography history was correct, however it seems like they have forgotten about the releases from 1984-1986 (with exceptions of the popular 1985 release, Private Beach Party). No mention of releases of Easy (1984), All I Have Is Love, Love, Love (1986), or even a true Reggae fans favorite release with the Prince of Reggae, Dennis Brown, Judge Not (1984). Well TH3MO3M3NT is here to help jog memories of those who forgotten (or maybe never heard) the up-full rydims like "A, Miner", the seductive lyrics like "Don't Say No", the upbeat tempo off tracks such as "When I Needed a Friend" with the help with some of your favorites off of the 1985 release Private Beach Party.

Cool Ruler Returns is the perfect compilation for that Gregory Isaacs fan who would like to advance out of his Island Record releases, to later yet still classical releases. The majority of these albums were never re-released on CD, making it even harder for younger fans to obtain knowledge of these releases. Some were released on CD, however, were not released in major numbers of quantity therefore making them very rare and pricey. This compilation is here to help prevent these releases from getting swept under the rug by any means necessary.  Enjoy. JAH Bless.

Track Listing:

1. More On More
2. A, Miner
3. Inner City Lady
4. Wish You Were Mine
5. Tenement Yard
6. Nobody Knows
7. Special to Me
8. Don't Say No
9. Losing Weight
10. No Rushings
11. When I Needed a Friend
12. Street Walker
13. Bits and Pieces
14. Continent Woman
15. Feeling Irie [feat. Carlene Davis]
16. Sad and Lonely Man
17. Let Off Supm
18. Love is Overdue
19. Promise is a Comfort
(1984-1986)
