Following on from our 180g release of Jamiroquai’s debut album “Emergency On Planet Earth” (SVLP267), we now give JK’s second album the 180g treatment so welcome to “The Return Of The Space Cowboy” (No.2 UK ’94) – another dazzling set of superlative modern Jazz-Funk served up in JK’s own inimitable style. The Jazz-Funk prodigy managed a one-two knockout with a stylish set which beautifully followed up his astonishing debut and featured worldwide hits like “Space Cowboy” (No.17 UK ’94), “Half The Man” (No.15 UK ’94), “Light Years” and the wonderful “Stillness In Time” (No.9 UK ’95). Generally considered by aficionados to be better than his debut, “The Return Of The Space Cowboy” gave much more emphasis to his vocals and added Hip-Hop rhythms to the previous album’s useage of purely Jazz-Funk beats. As with “Emergency On Planet Earth”, this is another 180 gram superior double package

Born Shawn Corey Carter, 4 December 1969, Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA. Raised in Brooklyn, Carter was a school friend of the Notorious B.I.G. Jay-Z set-up his own Roc-A-Fella imprint in 1996 with entrepreneur Damon Dash and Kareem "Biggs" Burke. His debut set, Reasonable Doubt, went on to achieve gold sales and produced the US number 50 pop single "Ain't No Nigga” featuring future rap star Foxy Brown. The album, which reached US number 23, attracted fans with a mixture of hard-hitting street lyrics and rhymes, epitomized by the collaboration with Notorious B.I.G. on "Brooklyn's Finest'. Jay-Z then became a major star with the hit singles, "Can I Get A ... " and "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)", the latter built around a line from the musical Annie. One of the more bizarre samples to be used on a hip-hop track, the single nevertheless became an international hit (UK number 2, December 1998/US number 15, March 1999). This album is a collection looking at the earliest period of Jay-z's career. The highlights are the three tracks highlighted above, Aint No Nigga, Hard knock life and Brooklyn's finest, Though they’re all hot! an essential purchase if you don't have his early vinyl albums!

WYCLEF JEAN - "The Carnival" - 2 LP - / 2004 S160013 - Printed in UK -

Adding even more flavour and sparkle to our S160 catalogue we introduce “Wyclef Jean Presents the Carnival Featuring the Refugee All-Stars”! This double album is heaped with original vision and it’s even more musically ambitious than the Fugees “The Score” (of which Jean was the guitarist and male rapper!) Originally released in 1997, The Carnival takes you through reggae, soul, disco, Caribbean rhythms, worldbeat, and even opera influences, all fused and scattered into hip-hop in true carnival style. As a talented producer and remixer (having worked with the likes of Whitney Houston, Santana, and Destiny's Child) it was only natural that this album was destined for huge things (No.4 Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums 1997), and features some of the remainders of the Fugees and Jean's siblings. "We Trying to Stay Alive" (the Bee Gee’s once innocent disco tune now ghetto empowerment anthem) cracked the No.3 spot on the “Hot Rap Singles chart” and the Grammy-nominated "Gone Till November" helped secure The Carnival into Top 20 triple-platinum selling status! All in all, Wyclef Jean is definitely a genius and a compelling figure of late'90s hip-hop, and is therefore a MUST for your S160 collection!

JUDAS PRIEST - "British Steel" - 1980 CBS / 2001 Columbia S160015 - Printed in UK -

160g Virgin Vinyl Pressing - Sealed - NEW VINYL

Item: 51A09 * Dkr. 125,00

Birmingham bashers Judas Priest deftly defy death with this new S160 title British Steel! This is an instant classic which can only be classed as one of their most rebellious and catchiest collections of killer cuts ever. There are machine-gun rhythms, angry songwriting, the guitars are lean, the drums are up-tempo - it has the sheer raw edge and power that too many bands are unable to capture. Stadium-rocking anthems "Breaking the Law," "Living After Midnight" and the rollicking "Rapid Fire" were all hit singles in the U.K. and British Steel became Judas Priest’s first album to reach the U.S. Top 40, going platinum in the process! This album completely redefined the band, both in the strength of their compostions, attitude and style. This is Judas Priest’s shining moment!

The Jungle Brothers have been around since hip hop's Golden Age, and they continue to adapt creatively to the changing soundscapes of both hip hop and DJ culture. Afrika Baby Bam and cohort Mike G have been progressing since they first appeared (then with DJ Sammy B) on the NYC hip hop scene with the release of the groundbreaking Straight Out The Jungle in 1988. A prototype for later envelope-pushing crews like the Wu-Tang Clan, the Jungle Brothers were among the first groups to aggregate a like-minded posse of fellow rappers (The legendary Native Tongues :De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep, and later Mos Def ) in which intellect and vocabulary dominated the game. Following the release of the sonically glorious but ill-fated J Beez Wit Da Remedy , (Their last album for Warners Bros) ,Afrika and Mike moved to a new home on Gee Street, and released the classic album “Raw Deluxe” The comeback, found them revisiting the Native Tongues era, and featured De La Soul and Q-Tip on the advance single, "How You Want It We Got It" Both The Roots and the Stereo MC's repaid their debt to the innovators by producing and remixing singles. But it was another Gee Street connection that would put the JBs back in the spot where styles intersect and musical hybrids are born. Shortly after the band's chance introduction to Jungle on U.K. radio, British Drum and Bass duo Urban Takeover (Aphrodite and co-conspirator Mickey Finn ) took the eponymous "Jungle Brother" and made it something completely new. The track introduced the sound of jungle to hip hoppers all over the globe, becoming an anthem of the massive drum and bass assault on the U.S. club scene in mid-'98, and spawning a generation of drum and bass remixes of hip hop hits.
