VP Records vintage imprint 17 North Parade opens its vaults to present another crucial reissue, this time from one of the most influential Jamaican producers – Augustus “Gussie” Clarke. He has consistently churned out hits since the ’70s until today, and Gussie Presenting: The Right Tracks, which was originally released in 1976, captures his early work during the so called golden era of reggae.
The reissue collects the original LP in its entirety with previously unreleased Gussie Clarke productions for the first time on CD. The double disc set contain all re-mastered tracks along with extensive liner notes and the original LP artwork.
The cuts were originally recorded and mixed at Kingston’s legendary Channel One studio and
King Tubby’s studio, and the collection includes Gussie Clarke’s work with a parade of Jamaican greats, including Horace Andy, Leroy Sibbles, Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Delroy Wilson, Augustus Pablo, Leroy Smart and Jacob Miller.

“There’s no ‘how it comes about’ with these names. I’m that kind of person who’s always thinking outside the box. There wasn’t any logic to it! It’s just a love for the difference and the uniqueness of things. Everybody had a sound and a style and I’d switch the musicians round to get a different vibe and a different feel,” explains Gussie Clarke in the set’s liner notes, and adds:

“I had the songs and in those days compilations were a good idea. I said ‘why not?’ and ‘The Right Tracks’ is appropriate now because they are the right tracks.”
