\"\"<\/h4>\n

Soul Jazz Records compiles nearly twenty years of British Dancehall label Fashion Records on the Style & Fashion<\/em> compilation scheduled for April 5th.<\/h4>\n

Founded\u00a0during the summer of 1980 by John MacGillivray and Chris Lane, two Reggae freaks,\u00a0Fashion Records was\u00a0the most important Reggae label in Britain for over 20 years. From 1980 to 2000\u00a0it was one of only a very few British reggae labels to release records that were produced in their own recording studio.<\/p>\n

As a simple example to illustrate the success of the label, the first Fashion release, Dee Sharp’s “Let’s Dub It Up”,\u00a0 hit number 1 in the UK Reggae charts in the summer of 1980. The song, available on this new Soul Jazz compilation has set a standard that Fashion always lived up to: fine, classy harmonies, punchy rhythms, bright arrangements and above all else,\u00a0powerful songs.<\/p>\n

Compiled by Soul Jazz Records , the 19-track collection features music by Laurel & Hardy, Smiley Culture, Cutty Ranks and General Levy among others.<\/p>\n

Scheduled for the 5th of April, Soul Jazz Records Presents Fashion Records : Style & Fashion<\/em>\u00a0will be released on 3xLP, with extensive sleeve notes. Check out the tracklist below.<\/p>\n
