Rass!

Independent shop in BallardDirections

Available from Light in the Attic Records when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

The miracle analog reissue of MPS’s No. 1 sampling-source album, now reproduced with its popular US jacket artwork. Monty Alexander’s masterpiece album "Rass!," featuring Ernest Ranglin, includes the universally recognized hip-hop sampling phrases "Love and Happiness" and "Let's Stay Together," famously sampled by heavyweight beatmakers such as DJ Premier, Pete Rock, The Beatnuts, and Buckwild. Recorded in Jamaica, this mellow jazz album is marked by its memorable Fender Rhodes and guitar sound.
