Vintage Reggae Vol 1 – Revolutionary Sounds

VINTAGE REGGAE VOL 1 – REVOLUTIONARY SOUNDS 2020

Audrey Hall’s “Angel Of The Morning” gives Vintage Reggae Vol. 1 its sweetest hook, and it’s a neat way into a set that leans hard into late-’70s and early-’80s lovers rock. From there the selections move through silky voices and familiar foundations: David Isaacs and Dobby Dobson bring that polished, sentimental edge, while George Nooks turns up twice with a more modern touch against the older-style arrangements. The Mighty Diamonds, Pat Kelly, The Itals and The Tamlins keep the groove rooted in harmony-heavy reggae, with the riddim carrying a warm, steady pulse and enough space for the singers to stretch out. Released in 2020, this feels like part of the wider rush of vintage-minded reggae projects that were digging back into the catalogue era for songs that still sound fresh on a proper sound system.
