PUNKY REGGAE
K's PUNKY REGGAE PARTY SPECIAL - VA Punky Reggae Party - Two Sevens Clash: Dread Meets Punk Rockers (45th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition) [2022] (9 x CD's)
In celebration of 45 years since the first DJ sets by Don Letts at the London punk club The Roxy in the summer of 1977, where he played his amazing reggae collection to the punks. This led to many punk bands incorporating reggae into their sound. Bands like The Clash, The Ruts, Stiff Little Fingers, The Stranglers, Gang of Four, The Slits, Generation X, The Police, Blondie, The Boomtown Rats, Elvis Costello, XTC, The Specials and many more all recorded songs with reggae influences. There has never been an official compilation of this fantastic mix of punk and reggae; the original songs which influenced the punks and the songs the punks went on later to record.
Reggae and punk were thrown together by being mutual outcasts, two fingers against authority and a sense of an established order breaking down. 1977 was to be a seminal year for music, fashion and society as white and black street culture found itself with the same aspirations for possibly the first time. The relationship was cemented as bands like Misty in Roots and Steel Pulse appeared on shared stages at the Rock Against Racism gigs with bands like Generation X. In fact, The Ruts first single was released on Misty’s ‘People United’ record label and Steel Pulse went on tour with The Stranglers. When Bob Marley went to London in 1977, he discovered, documented, and reveled in the punky reggae party.
Hope you enjoy this fantastic mix of classic punk and reggae. I put a tremendous amount of time and research into this compilation to make it truly authentic to what was being played in the clubs by Don Letts and the reggae inspired punk music that followed.
Enjoy!

Documentary:
Sky Arts presents: Two Sevens Clash: Dread Meets Punk Rockers by acclaimed director, DJ and musician Don Letts as he trawls through his extensive archive of Super 8 films from the 1970s to tell the story of when the politically alienated, multicultural youth of the era made their voices heard via the sounds of punk, dub and reggae.
The sounds of Rasta culture in London could be heard in readings by Linton Kwesi Johnson and records played at The Roxy - by Letts himself when resident DJ - and were key influences on songs by The Clash and The Slits. Bob Marley would pinpoint the era as the ‘Punky Reggae Party’. Don offers a first-hand account of this scene and the trail that it blazed to shape music history.
