Reggae Mix Online
Just to let you know, my system of reviewing and recommending CDs is unconventional. If I get bored after one spin it goes 
into the “never listen to again” CD box. Yes, I do have one of those (actually, it’s a shoe box…alright. enough with the smirk, man!)
Now, with that being said, have you had a chance to listen to VP Records’ Biggest Reggae One Drop Anthems 2009 CD? I previewed it online and, eventually, went out and bought the CD because it was that good!
This VP Records release is one you draw for every time you power up your CD player, and must put it in repeat play mode. The list of artists on this CD is exceptional, and trust me, you will not be disappointed.
One thing though, track 07-Beres Hammond-Can’t Say I Never Tried, has the longest verses I ever heard, to the point of monotony. Beres Hammond…get to the damned chorus (hook), would you? -One love Beres, one love, mon! 
Other than that, Reggae Mix Online readers, I, highly, recommend you get this CD. It’s a must have to add to your collection.
Happy listening, stay reggae!
Soundscan 2009 Reggae Album Sales Not Looking Good
Reggae Mix Online
Soundscan reggae album sales for 2009 trended downwards, drastically, which is not unlike that for other genres. But this should be a red flag to artists, producers and record labels alike that the music they are putting out is a little above CRAPOLA!
Where are the Coxsone Dodds, Joe Gibbs, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perrys, Sly & Robbies and Steely(r.i.p) and Clevies.
Don’t blame the economy, music fans now get to choose which songs on an album they want to purchase. Record companies no longer get to tell us as consumers what to buy. It’s no wonder online music services are growing year over year.
Major record companies are dying a slow death and are becoming irrelevant. I say death to major ’slave’ labels.
Artists and labels listen up. We need good music!
