Meltdown
First Light

|
|
"MELTDOWN" was the first CD released by the group, and the first CD released by any locally based group at that time. It sold over 25,000 copies on the group's Thin Ice Records label. These songs will bring back many memories for avid First Light fans. The CD was recently rated one of the top 10 best "summer" CD's released by a Cleveland-based artist by the Scene Magazine. Definitely a Cleveland Classic! This CD was never before released to retail! Due to overwhelming demand from the group's fans all across the country, it is now!

Groove Telepathy was the follow up studio CD that saw the group expand their sound away from the original reggae vibe into more of a rock-funk-blues-world sound. The re-issued version contains A BONUS TRACK as well as re-mixes of 6 tracks that were done at Pyramid Studios in San Francisco, and they infuse a whole new energy into these songs, making this CD world-class, and another CLEVELAND CLASSIC.
SOON TO FOLLOW: Little Fish Records has several other First Light re-issues in the pipeline including “Live at the Empire” and “Bootleg” recordings that were previously only available on cassette, and a newly discovered Live at the Agora CD that was simulcast on WNCX 98.5 circa 1992. Stay Tuned!

"One For You" is the group’s eighth release to date (5th on Little Fish) and the 2nd to be recorded at Riddim House Studios, the band's recording studio built in 2005. If "Hard to Find" was a return to the rootical sound of the band's beginnings, "ONE FOR YOU" answers with an upbeat, in-your-face collection of future-reggae-heavy-hitters. The band has further redefined their unique brand of reggae...infusing it with dancehall, hip-hop, drum 'n bass, dub and more. The album was named after one of the band's greatest songs to date, "One For You", a political anthem chastising corruption and greed in government.
Every other day said another one bust
Can't trust your president, who can you trust?
And your vice president got the money lust
People's investigation get hushed
Every other day they wanna bring you inna war
Do you really know what you're fighting for?
Listen to Jah Works them a big superstar
Hear the message coming from near and far
ONE FOR YOU, ONE FOR ME, TWO FOR ME COUNT TWO FOR ME
PURE CORRUPTION ALL THAT I SEE, TRICKLE DOWN INNA MY COMMUNITY
Guest appearances include Monsoon and Kurlou of DC reggae band S.T.O.R.M. and BIG VIZION...all artists on the Riddim House label (RIDDIMHOUSE.com).

THE CLEVELAND CLASSICS CATALOGUE
Greetings friends and music lovers,
We’ve been busy at Little Fish Records acquiring some more great music for your enjoyment! Our Cleveland Classics catalogue has been enhanced and expanded with some interesting new titles. Check these out:
Glass Harp – this legendary power trio featuring the flying fingers of Phil Keaggy has several releases that we were able to add to our store, including the “Glass Harp” cd and the “Synergy” cd.
Rastus – as Blood, Sweat, and Tears and Chicago were pioneering the big band horn sound, so was Rastus here in Cleveland. They eventually ended up in Los Angeles and performed before many top acts of the late sixties/early seventies era. Their cd titled “Steamin’” is now available at Little Fish Records.
The Dazz Band – emerging from the streets of Cleveland with a sound that was characterized as “danceable jazz”, this group won a Grammy for the song “Let It Whip”. Check out their best on the “Motown Legends” cd.
Frank Yankovic – probably the original Cleveland Classic artist, he pioneered a sound that became known as the “Cleveland-style polka” with heavy Slovenian-based influences. He was the first artist to actually win a Grammy for polka music. While he has numerous releases to his credit, we’ve picked four to add to our catalogue:
“Songs of the Polka King – volume 2”
“Wish I Was 18 Again”
“Live In Nashville”
“70 Years of Hits”
Michael Stanley – in case you missed it, we’ve added several titles from Cleveland’s favorite son to our catalogue this summer. From the “Michael Stanley Band”, we now have the “Fourth and Ten” and “Inside Moves” cd’s, as well as two hot DVD’s: “Live at Blossom Music Center” and “MSB-TV”. These really capture the majic that MSB had with the Cleveland audience. Be sure to check them out. In recent years, Michael has released several solo cd’s that we are making available including “American Road” and “The Ground.”

These reggae road warriors have just finished up their 3rd release (2nd on Little Fish Records) and decided that this time, they wanted give the reggae treatment to a variety of cover songs in an attempt to reach out to the mainstream listener. They chose well, as their arrangements of such classics like “The Way You Do the Things You Do” (Temptations), “Hotel California” (Eagles), “The Land Down Under” (Eddy Grant) and “Electric Avenue” will be sure to get you singing along while your bouncing up and down!

Little Fish Records is especially pleased to have reached outside of the Cleveland area to sign one of the top groups on the Eastern seaboard – Jah Works, out of the Baltimore/DC area. With four independent cd releases to their credit, this group plays close to 300 dates per year and has been included in several international USO tours. We’ve had them to Cleveland a couple of times to perform with Carlos Jones & the PLUS Band, and what a show the two groups put on! Their music fuses both roots and dancehall reggae, with R & B, Jazz, and Rock. Great arrangements, excellent production. These guys are real heavyweights. We’re proud to add the following four cd releases to our catalogue:
- “Hard To Find”
- “Bassmentality”
- “Taking Off Tomorrow”
- “Live, Volume 2”
