A decade later, On-U issued a second series of 10" Disco Plates, this time with monochromatic color sleeves featuring the photography of Coneyl Jay (on DP 21 through DP 27).
In 2015, the On-U label revived the 10" Disco Plate once again with Kishi's photographs and the classic border design. The latest Disco Plate (DP 62) was released this year to accompany Lee Scratch Perry's Rainford album. (A dub version of this album, entitled Heavy Rain, has been announced for release next month.)
Some of the earliest Disco Plates were compiled in CD form, on Discoplate Collection Part 1 and Part 2. Most of the Disco Plates from the early 1990's remain uncompiled, and some have never seen digital release.
Today we have five of them. Vocalists include Andy Fairley, Bim Sherman, Jesse Rae, and Little Annie, backed by the likes of Dub Syndicate and Strange Parcels. The Little Annie Disco Plates are my vinyl rips. For more of Little Annie, immerse yourself in this epic career-spanning post by my friend Nathan Nothin!

ReplyDelete(DP 25 and DP 27 were Dub Syndicate releases, and were included on Disco Plate Collection Part 2. DP 22 was the "Mankind" EP by Jalal Nuriddin of the Last Poets. The Disco Plate Collection CD's can be found on the Holland Tunnel Dive blog.)
