V.A. - Lord Koos : Label Koos In Full Swing
7" compilation made by Steven Lindley - thank you Steven! Recorded 197x.
Lord Koos - KOOS - Did he have relative connections with the Dutch? "Koos" is a typical dutch name.
I know little about this Jamaican producer personally, he is a bit of a mystery to me. His 7" productions, many as they are speak for themselves though. Koos couldn't do wrong and his sound, always warm and likeable.
(Lord) Koos' real name is Eric Scott. Residence London NW, later frequently played Hackney, East London with his Lord Koos Soundsystem. Koos in english speaking countries is usually derived from the South African "boers" name Koos, from the Dutch "Koos" short for Jacob(us). Funny enough it is pronounced as koes (in Dutch fonetics it sort of equals the Dutch word for 'cows'). But that is as far as the connection goes, for all I know ...And oh yeah, it's not unusual as a girl's name, like Koo Stark, f.i.

V.A. - Sounds Of The Summer Label
Summer Records backing band Earth, Roots & Water.
Earth, Roots & Water was initially formed in the mid-seventies to provide hard rhythms and tight backing tracks for the growing number of musical friends and family who ventured to Brown's Malton, Ontario, basement studio. Over the years, a veritable who's who of Jamaican music scene passed through Summer Sound to record with like-minded brethren.
Jackie Mittoo, Willi Williams, Johnny Osbourne, Carl Dawkins, Leroy Sibbles, Stranger Cole, and King Jammy are just a handful of the label's impressive roster.
By 1977, Earth, Roots & Water had developed into an engaging live entity as well, based around the talents of Adrian "Homer" Miller (vocals), Anthony "Base" Hibbert (bass), Colin "Zuba" Suban (drums), Matt Shelley (guitar), and Tony "KB" Moore (keyboards). Both a sonic and visual force, the charismatic youths soon found themselves performing in and around the Toronto area, opening up for The Police and The Stranglers while extending the UK-born punk/reggae love affair to North America.
The Summer label, album Noel Ellis
And the charismatic artist himself, Noel Ellis
On the website from Light In The Attic there are some inspiring vids to enjoy from the former Summer label.
Following compilation is called "Sounds Of The Summer Label", taken from 12 inches and some lp's.
For the uninitiated, we are talking heavy bass, drums, reverb, echo, roots vocals, keys, guitar, percussion, and Brown's wild style touch behind the controls. Enjoy!
