#556 :: Windy City Sound System 18 :: 2019 Highlights ... so far (19 June 2019)

It’s hard to believe, but we’re already halfway through 2019. As has been the case for the last couple years, there has been a wealth of new ska, rocksteady, and reggae music that has been released! Rather than wait until the end of the year, we wanted to pick some choice cuts off albums released during the first half of the year, which have been on repeat here at WCSS HQ. Big ups to all of these artists, and here’s to hoping the remainder of the year is just as prolific with new music! ~Jim

AceTones - CC 
The Prizefighters - Kashmir

#548 :: Windy City Sound System :: Spirit Of '69 (17 April 2019)


2019 is a big year in terms of ska and reggae anniversaries, and we wanted to take the next couple episodes to properly mark them. For this month’s episode, we’re focusing on the 50th anniversary of the Spirit Of ‘69. Boss reggae came into its own in 1969, another drastic change in sound for Jamaican music after the smooth rocksteady of the past couple years. There were a cavalcade of fantastic tunes released during the course of the year, and we picked out an hour’s worth of our favorites! Jim of Windy City Sound System 

Justin Hinds & The Dominoes - Sufferation 1969
The Blenders - Decimal Currency
Clancy Eccles - Fattie Fattie
Amiel Moody - Ratchet Knife
Count Sticky & The Upsetters - Dry Acid
Dandy Livingstone - Reggae In Your Jeggae
David Isaacs - Since You Are Gone
Dennis Walks - The Drifter
Richard Ace - More Reggae
John Holt - What You Gonna Do Now
Ken Boothe - Old Fashioned Way
Laurel Aitken - Reggae 69
The Upsetters - Bronco
Phyllis Dillon - Love Is All I Had
Joe Nolan - Poison Reggay

#527 :: Trojan Records / Pama Spotlight (21 November 2018)

People that are a part of fandoms love to come up with debates about the superiority of one versus another: Star Wars vs. Star Trek, Marvel vs. DC, and so on. One that I’m surprised I haven’t heard too often from the reggae side of things is Trojan vs Pama. Seeing as they were the two big UK record companies operating in the late ‘60s/early ‘70s, it seems only natural that fans of the genre would try to pit them against one another. Since Trojan is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and Pama is celebrating 51 year, we thought we’d put together a mix of tunes released on both labels (and their many subsidiaries)! 

TROJAN 
Harry J All Stars - Liquidator (Trojan/Harry J)
Joya Landis - Out The Light (Trojan)
The Pioneers - I Need Your Sweet Inspiration (Trojan)
The Maytals - Watermelon (Trojan)
Symarip - You’re Mine (Trojan)
Higgs & Wilson - Don’t Mind Me (Clandisc)
The Dynamites - John Public (Duke)
I-Roy & The Jumpers - Hot Bomb (Green Door)
Neasden Connection - Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto, No. 1 (Horse)
Scotty - Sesame Street (Song Bird)
Dandy Livingstone - Sister Big Stuff (Big Shot) 

PAMA
Alton Ellis - My Time Is The Right Time (Pama)
The Viceroys - Chariot Coming (Bullet)
Mr. Foundation - Maga Dog (Supreme)
Derrick Morgan - Man Pon Moon (Crab)
Little Roy - Bongo Nyah (Camel)
The Soul Rhythms - Soul Call (Gas)
The Clan - Copycats (Bullet)
Sweet Confusion - Elisabeth Serenade (Escort)
Laurel Aitken - Big Fight In Hell (Nu Beat)
The Versatiles - Children Get Ready (Crab)

#506 :: Windy City Sound System :: Tribute to Anthony Bourdain (June 25, 1956 – June 8, 2018)


This month's episode of WCSS on GO FEET! Radio is a bit of a personal one.
As you're no doubt well aware, earlier in the month Anthony Bourdain suddenly and unfortunately passed away. To say he was one of my favorite writers and television personalities would be an understatement, and the manner of his passing made the news all that much more shocking and sad. Rather than wax poetic about him or his many accomplishments/impacts, I made like a good selector and pulled together as many Jamaican songs about food and drink as I could fit within an hour. Hopefully this humble remembrance of one of my icons is a fitting one. Enjoy!

Des All Stars - Night Food Reggae
The Viceroys - Fat Fish
Laurel Aitken - Rice & Peas
Glen Brown - Collie & Wine
