[A long-out-of-print album—finally reissued!] Uncovering a treasure trove of NEW WAVE REGGAE masterpieces. A collection of BRENDA RAY’s early masterpieces from 1979–1983.

Two singles, and the 2006 cult classic “WALATTA”—a whisper-voice reggae album recorded with Jamaican artists TOMMY McCOCK, ERNEST RANGLIN, SCIENTIST—all Jamaican artists—on CHANNEL ONE, and caused a stir with her 2006 cult classic “WALATTA,” a whisper-voiced reggae album. Now, EM RECORD is reissuing recordings she made around the 1980s. The history of this mysterious artist has finally been unraveled. It’s surprising to learn that an artist like this existed around the same time the ON-U scene was taking off in Bristol. NEW WAVE, synth-driven REGGAE, DIY POP. This album compiles tracks originally released on cassette and 7-inch singles, as well as rare, previously unreleased material. It’s a record brimming with the charm of a handmade sound.
