 | | Description: | Strut present the first ever official compilation bringing together the complete in-demand reggae / disco singles of Risco Connection between 1979 and 1980.
Drummer ??Drummie? Joe Isaacs had already created history as the house drummer at Studio 1 in Jamaica on countless pre-reggae classics before moving to Canada in 1968 and is credited with slowing down the fast pace of ska during the rocksteady era. With Risco Connection, Isaacs released a series of choice reggae / disco covers, from ??Ain??t No Stopping Us Now?? and ??Good Times?? to ??I??m Caught Up (In A One Night Love Affair)?? and ??It??s My House?? as limited 12? singles on his own Black Rose imprint.
??Risco Version?? brings together all of the vocal versions, dubs and extra tracks from the singles. Both formats feature an interview with Joe Isaacs and liner notes by journalist Angus Taylor. Audio is restored by Sean P and fully remastered and cut loud and proud by The Carvery. - Sticker on cellophane: The complete Risco Connection singles 1979-1980.
Featuring reggae disco versions of 'Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now', 'Good Times',
'I'm Caught Up', 'It's My House' and 'You Bring The Sun Out'. Includes

E2 and E3 are listed in the wrong order on the sleeve"Risco Version" is a carefully curated LP that shines a spotlight on the legendary disco-reggae and dub-disco output of Risco Connection, a cult studio project that has long been treasured by DJs, collectors and deep-digging music lovers. Rooted in the late-'70s and early-'80s sound system era, these tracks reinterpret soul, disco and funk anthems through a distinctly Jamaican lens: rolling basslines, dubbed-out echoes, razor-sharp rhythm guitar and uplifting vocal hooks. The result is a warm, hypnotic blend that sits perfectly between the dancefloor and the living room -- equally suited for sound system sessions, late-night listening or selector culture.
Musically, "Risco Version" celebrates the art of the version itself: extended mixes, heavy grooves and playful studio experimentation that stretch familiar songs into immersive journeys. Expect deep, bass-heavy reinterpretations of classics, stripped-back dubs and long, DJ-friendly arrangements that reflect the aesthetics of both reggae sound systems and underground disco. The LP format gives these tracks space to breathe, preserving their dynamic range and analogue warmth and making this edition a particularly attractive choice for vinyl enthusiasts.
Risco Connection enjoy a near-mythical status among collectors of reggae-disco crossovers. Though not widely known to mainstream audiences, the project's recordings have circulated for decades on sought-after 12-inch singles, championed by influential DJs across scenes -- from roots reggae to rare groove and modern disco edits. Their distinctive fusion of soulful vocals and heavyweight riddims has turned original pressings into in-demand items, and this collection brings that elusive catalogue together in an accessible, high-quality form for a new generation of listeners.
Behind this release stands Strut, working in collaboration with Indigo -- labels and distributors known for their deep catalogue work and respect for musical heritage. Strut has built a strong reputation for authoritative reissues, compilations and archival projects across disco, Afro, jazz, funk and Caribbean music, always with great attention to sound quality, detailed presentation and liner notes. This partnership ensures that "Risco Version" is more than just a re-press: it is a carefully assembled, respectful edition that honours the original recordings while making them available again in a premium LP format. For fans of disco, reggae, dub and the fertile meeting point between them, this album is an essential addition to the shelf. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
