Rhygin Records and the Rhythm Doctors
July 20th 2006 13:38
So today I had a press release in my inbox for a new US record label called Rhygin Records http://www.rhyginrecords.com. Their claim is that they are releasing new yet wonderfully authentic sounding records actually on vinyl. Music that sounds like it comes from the sixties and seventies. Top stuff I suppose.
One should understand that despite the fact they only have four tracks released so far one two sevens, this is quite an expensive activity. Vinyl pressing isn’t so cheap.
They have one recognisable release by the Rhythm Doctors featuring the great Jamaican Cedric Brooks, but the other bands are not so. The B side on this release is by The Sandollar Sound who aren’t familiar to me and the other release is by the house band Rhygin Rockers. This supposed allstar band is also unfamiliar to me.
This label to be sounds very similar to Axe Records who released The Aggrolites and King Terror, who from what I can assume includes members of the Aggrolites. Considering King Terror is mentioned in another press release for the label and considering its in a similar part of the world, I put forward the theory of bands sluts. Band sluts is no new thing of course.
Anyway, having heard the sound samples I am not overly excited, but they are short and I am interested to hear what they put out. Oh and Rhygin comes from Jamaican hard man Ivanhoe 'Rhygin' Martin, the person Ivan from The Harder They Come was based on.
