FIRST NEW STUDIO ALBUM IN ALMOST 30 YEARS

NAPOLEON SOLO 

"OPEN CHANNEL D"

LP VINYL

JUMP UP is so proud to be working with one of our favorite bands of all time, an act that was a missing link connecting 2-TONE with the first European ska explosion at the end of the 80's - Denmark's smart-dressed Nutty Boys NAPOLEON SOLO! Their first new studio album since 1989 - "OPEN CHANNEL D"  - has arrived! NAPOLEON SOLO's unique blend of British 2 Tone, Jamaican ska, and rhythm & blues mixed with sixites-style soul has attracted legions of fans worldwide since their formation in 1984. In fact, as early as 1988 BUSTER BLOODVESSEL of BAD MANNERS championed the band and produced their first mini-album "How To Steal The World" for Unicorn Records. NAPOLEON SOLO followed up on this success by releasing a new album "SHOT!" in 1989 on Bloodvessel's BLUE BEAT UK.  Fast-forward to 2011, NAPOLEON SOLO reunited for the re-launch of the London International Ska Festival, that same year they shared the stage with THE SPECIALS in their hometown, a lifelong dream for the band. In 2015 the band released a bit of holiday cheer in the form of a cover version of SLADE's "MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY", which was issued as a split 7" vinyl single in 2016 alongside fellow countrymen LEO & THE LINEUP.  On this new 15 track album the band stays true to form, remaining loyal to their soul/ska sound including fresh new versions of demo/live classics "0059", "Nobody Told Me" , "House Conflict" and "Video Brainwash" -  and right from the opener "All I Need" it's immediately clear that this long awaited new album fires on all cylinders, danceable ska and soulful reggae from the first to the last groove. We here at Jump Up have literally been waiting for this new album for every day since 1989, and we are equally honored to have partnered up with PORK PIE in Germany to launch the return of this pioneering European ska band.

THE CROMBIES

"Wee Beasties"

3 inch Mini CD + PATCH

THE CROMBIES are an American 2-TONE band! They've now been around long enough to have rarities in the vaults, this collection delivers some of those to you! Back in the late 80's many bands issued singles with cool b-sides on the 3 inch Mini-CD format - and we return to that tradition today! This mini-CD is 24 minutes long and features 7 tracks - plus it comes with a limited edition patch! 

We're only making 200 of these and they are sure to go FAST!

FEATURING MIMI MAURA

7 INCH VINYL

Of course we have been fans of Argentinian (via Puerto Rico)  reggae/ska chanteuse MIMI MAURA for ages, in fact we have spent countless dollars buying albums on her Canary imprint off of Amazon! When we heard she had teamed up with Argentinian early reggae masters LOS AGGROTONES to do a reggae version of TIMI YURO's "northern" nugget "It'll Never Be Over For Me" - we were really excited. Then we found out the song was being released as a limited edition 7 inch single on legendary UK imprint ACID JAZZ?!?! WOW! This is a must have single for the DJ crate, and we are proud to now bring this in direct exclusively for the USA. The flip is an original early reggae instrumental tune called "You Don't Mean Me No Good". Quantities are limited

THE FUSS

OURSELVES

LP vinyl / Tape 

Soulful ska/reggae from Washington DC

The Fuss is a dynamic ska, rock steady, and early reggae band from Washington, D.C. Their sound pays tribute to the music of 1960's Jamaica and the British Mod scene, while putting modern slant on these timeless styles. The group is comprised of 3-part female harmonies, a 3-piece horn section, and 4-piece rhythm section. Since the band formed in 2014 and they've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with bands such as The Skatalites, The Toasters, The Pietasters, Eastern Standard Time, The Interrupters, Save Ferris, Steady 45's, and many more. "Ourselves" is the band's debut 14 track album, a brilliant follow up to their critically acclaimed "In Trouble" EP, standout track "So Many Times" recently appeared the Ska Brewing/Jump Up collection "Drink The Ska". This past summer we leaked a limited run of vinyl to the band on their east coast tour, now we are proud to say that we can supply the world with this fantastic debut. It's as great as it looks - no lie! The retro cassette version is only currently available from us in our collectors bundle, it is officially being released for Cassette Store Day USA on 10/13. We are so proud to have THE FUSS join the JUMP UP family!

The Fuss - 15 Pills

NEW ALBUM ON JUMP UP RECORDS

BIG SKA BAND

LP VINYL / CD 

Features COREY GLOVER of LIVING COLOUR on vocals! 

Horn arrangements by VINNIE of BIM SKALA BIM / PILFERS 

Big Ska Band has been together for almost 25 years, the group is led by Grammy winning producer Joe Ferry, whose credits include "Hi Bop Ska" by The Skatalites; "Greetings From Skamania" by The Skatalites; and "The Age of Insects", "Hit Me" and "Punk Steady" by SKAndalous Allstars. On this ten track album the band's lead vocals are shared by Joey Ray, who is one of the most in-demand session singers in New York City, and Corey Glover from Grammy Award winning rock legends Living Colour. Stylistically, the album delivers something for everyone - up tempo third wave skankers with hi-octane horns and gang chorus, laid back summer reggae jams, jazzy Skatalites instrumentals, SKAandalous All Stars style cover tributes (including Radiohead's "Creep" and a  stadium rock medley), rub-a-dubby steppers and so much more! A great listen from start to finish - this record literally takes you back to the diversity of records that came out in the 90s third wave heyday. We also need to mention some more all stars that make up the band! Uzimon contributes vocals and toasting, Vinnie Noble (Bim Skala Bim / Pilfers) throws down some manic trombone and arranged all the horns with saxophonist Neal Spitzer, Guitarist Dan Kottmann (credits include Tom Jones, Jeff Beck, Sheryl Crow, Santana), drummer Alan Jax Bowers (Parrot Beach / Jimmy Buffett) plus some studio wizardry to include samples of The Skatalites, courtesy of Shanachie Records. To round out the release sleeve art and lettering was and painted by Joe Ferry himself. Limited edition of 200 LP vinyl (comes with a CD) and eco-jacket CD available. Check out tracks on our Instagram Page

Our friends in the SOUL CHANCE out of Bakersfield, California have two brand new 

7 inch singles on their new imprint OBEAH records, and we have a limited supply available now! Very nice 60's female lead soul/reggae, "How Long Will It Take" is a cover of the PAT KELLY classic while "Why Wait" is a mellow summer reggae tune that pays homage to "Sitting In The Park". Both 7 inch singles feature instrumental versions on the flip. Get them before they are gone! Dare we mention that one of the SOUL STEPPERS is behind this new band?

Why Wait (feat. Nico Collins)

TWO SWETONE LEGENDS

THE LIPTONES 

T-SHRTS 

We at JUMP UP have always been fans of the SWETONE, a unique sound that developed in Sweden that took third wave ska intensity and combined it with 2-TONE style. It's uptempo, super catchy, keyboard driven...and makes you dance like CRAZY! Think of a fast MADNESS tune slammed into punky-ska of a  MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES and that gives you an idea of how catchy this stuff is. Labels like BURNING HEART developed bands like LIBERATOR and CHICKENPOX, and 

A MESSAGE TO YOU records started releasing albums by THE LIPTONES in 2002. We've restocked the brilliant 2011 vinyl edition of "THE MEANING OF LIFE", their most recent album sung in English, plus their 2014 album sung in Swedish, "SIDOSPAR". A must for fans of THE CROMBIES, BUSTER SHUFFLE, THE TALKS, and 2-TONE in general. Speaking of 2-TONE, back in the early 80's one Swedish band  released incredible single after single, new wavey surf guitar ska stompers that gave the English bands a run for the money: T-SHIRTS. The band got back together and in 2017 released their first new material since 1982! Two tracks, a laid back reggae groover and the other a 2-TONE style gem like the good old days!

The Liptones - Wyatt Earp

JAMAICA ON VINYL

Summery Female Fronted 2-TONE from Texas

BOSS RIOT

"Lace Up Straight"

LP vinyl / CD 

Formed in Dallas, Texas in 2015 around a mutual love of vintage Jamaican music, the Boss Riot sound pays tribute to early reggae, ska, rock steady, and soul while continuing to push the creative envelope of the genres. The band stays rooted in a vintage sound yet delivers a modern twist, bringing to mind the pop sensibilities of the English Beat, The Untouchables or The Selecter. Lead by the the powerful pipes of Vicki Tovar, her colorful hair and stage intensity channels the spirits of Dusty Springfield and Nancy Sinatra. Boss Riot is comprised of veterans from the 90's ska scene, including current members of Rude King and the founding member of Detroit's pioneering band The Exceptions, whose recordings graced releases on Jump Up, Asian Man, and Moon Ska throughout the third wave. "Lace Up Straight" is the band's 14 track debut album, following hot on the heals of Ska Brewing/Jump Up collections "Drink The Ska" and "Pressure Hop" which introduced Boss Riot to over 7000+ fans worldwide. 

Limited edition green vinyl and hand assembled slimline CD limited to 100 copies. 

BOSS RIOT "Hearts And Hands"

Fantastic 2-TONE SKA from HONG KONG! 

Yes, we imported this from the Far East!

Features Neville Staples of The Specials and produced by "Sean "Cavo" Dismore, former vocalist from The Toasters and Unity 2

The Red Stripes Julia Posh (Studio Version)

CHRIS MURRAY COMBO

"Buckle Up"  LP vinyl 

Chris Murray's first full length vinyl release out now on JUMP UP!

The Chris Murray Combo's first album "Why So Rude" was released way back in 2008 - we would have to say it was one of our faves of that time. Like his earlier solo records on Moon NYC and Asian Man, it was stripped down and raw, super authentic traditional 60s ska just within honrs. "BUCKLE UP" picks up where "WHY SO RUDE" left off...with the usual top-shelf songwriting backed by a simple and organic drum/bass/acoustic guitar reggae & ska vibe. Songs like "Anchor" and "Forget Your Love" are perfect summer jams while tracks such as "Little Bit Of Love" and "Ain't No Joke Bein' Broke" will have you looking for some room in your house to dance! We've loved CHRIS MURRAY'S music since the late 80s (side note KING APPARATUS crashed in my college apartment in 1991), we are SO PROUD to be the first to get some full-length vinyl out for him! Exclusive summery color vinyl too - red and orange - while they last!

 

Three Jamaican Legends  on the same 7 inch single!

DERRICK MORGAN

DENNIS ALCAPONE

CHARLIE ORGANAIRE

"There Stands The Glass"

Mango Yellow Vinyl Now Available! 

Five years in the making....recorded in Chicago on three separate occasions, our split release with Happy As A Lark is finally a reality! In 2013, Derrick Morgan performed in Chicago for a Jamaican Oldies showcase at Mayne Stage. We asked Derrick if he was interested in recording a song while he was in town - and to our delight he said YES! Anthony from The Drastics had a country-reggae-ska themed project in the works under the alter-ego TECTONICS, he produced a version of the 1950's Webb Pierce classic "There Stands The Glass" and suggested that Derrick Morgan would be a perfect fit. When we played the backing track to Derrick over a cellphone, he immediately knew the tune (of course!) and got excited to be part of this wonderful project. A year later we brought in Dennis Alcapone to Chicago for a Jamaican Oldies showcase - we thought to ourselves...let's recreate those old 45s and have Dennis chat over the song that Derrick recorded a year earlier! A true DJ version on the flip! The project got shelved for a few years... but in 2018 Charlie Organaire went into the studio to play harmonica on the tune. It was finally complete! A very limited initial pressing is now available from Jump Up and Happy As Lark - we each have an exclusive color. Our copies are a golden yellow and it's limited to 100 copies.
