From: PRESS RELEASE Category: Press Release Date: 08 December 2009 Time: 02:28 AM Review: Press Release for Walt Jabsco After years in the wilderness we are proud to announce the return of Walt Jabsco. Walt Jabsco the sharp suited black and white iconic figure that last graced our records in the early eighties is back to spread his message of racial harmony with his ska ,reggae, dub manifesto! Walt Jabsco..The Return Of is a 12 track download album featuring artist and bands inspired by the legendary 2 Tone Records. We don’t like to think of it as a tribute album but a continuation from where 2 Tone finished. All bands and artist on Walt Jabsco..The Return Of have donated their tracks free and the album features many diverse styles and takes on the 2 Tone sound. The album features artwork by John 'Teflon' Sims the artist responsible for most of the iconic designs for the 2 Tone label. In its short time 2Tone promoted racial unity and united kids from all ethnic backgrounds whilst embracing many genres of music and styles and that is the idea behind this project. We have tried to reflect that in the tunes that are on the compilation and carry on with the 2Tone message and continue on from where it left of with the view of releasing dance music with a social conscious. All proceeds from the sale of the album are being donated to the Love Music Hate Racism. Walt Jabsco..The Return Of is released on 09-11-09 and is available from Amazon,iTunes,Napster,Rhapsody and all good outlets. Also available is a strictly limited edition CD (retro 7” vinyl design) with hand stamped sleeves just like the first ever release on 2 Tone. Walt Jabsco Recordings is our vision of a record label based on our love of the great 2 Tone ,Studio1,Trojan,Upsetter,Channel 1,and Harry J’s, Motown, Treasure Isle and Blue Note labels. Initially the label will be internet based, where we will make our music available on our website as exclusive downloads. We see downloads as the new Dub plates and the internet as the sound systems of the 60’s. Keeping it fresh just like the original pioneers. In the future we hope to develop the label and release vinyl’s and cd's by new and up coming artist's, we are also in the process of building our own mini studio. So expect a lot of activity in 2010 ! For more information on Walt Jabsco Recordings please visit our website www.waltjabscorecordings.co.uk www.myspace.com/waltjabscorecordings
