Hopefully a cd release will follow in a few months?
I want to order a copy of this vinyl Bongoman, how?
It will be available at independent record stores in North America on April 21st for Record Store Day! Use this link to find a store near you!
I live in The Netherlands, Europe, so I think I try to purchase a copy through Rough Trade store, the next day. Let’s hope I can still order a copy.
I live in New Zealand, no one here will have this to sell?
After supporting Studio One in it’s various forms (Heartbeat/Soul Jazz) & buying original press for 40 years not being able to buy this release really sucks……Feels very unfair that only Americans can buy this release….why don’t you call it for what it is USARECORDSTORE DAY!
Can you tell me of any shop that will stock this in Sydney, Australia, please?
Fantastic! Studio One is the Motown of reggae. I have collected most heartbeat studio one and soul jazz studio one cd’s which I have loaded as “local files” onto spotify for ease of access and because they are not on Spotify itself. You are missing out on revenue by not putting the catalogue onto Spotify. Let me know if I can help in anyway as I love the music and Mr Dodds contribution in particular.

some considerations about the decision to release this LP “NATURAL HIGH: THE BONGO MAN COLLECTION (and also the previous “From the Vaults, Vol. 1”) ONLY for USA: I think that this is, first of all, a big limitation: reggae have a universal message that can be acknowledged from all over the world; furthermore I think that with this kind of commercial policy you are too exclusive: reggae should be inclusive not EXCLUSIVE!
One Love, Alberto.
Good idea to make it only available in the USA !!
So we in Europe have to wait until it appaers on Discogs, bought by someone to make big money out of it.
MUSIC FOR THE PEOPLE ???
I already bought all your releases, always the best quality in media & cover, sadly this one will not be forme :-((
and none of the “participating record stores” (in Belgium) you mention in your LINK
could buy this release !!!! Contacted all of them !
I believe it’s how the material is licensed, not that they are trying to discriminate against international buyers. Sure they’d love to sell to anyone but I believe yep roc only has the license to sell this in North America. They can correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to remember that from when the SO deal was announced.
Hail!Big-up to Studio One Music.I would to see you release the Dennis Brown Albums and Singles on a two CD box set. Just like how you did the Ska Foundation CD box set. (Love Jah)
Just received a copy of this record, had it ordered through an US seller a week ago (very big grinn) so if you really want, just search and find and order!
