PAMA INTL REISSUES - First 2 albums available again
Pama Intl's first two albums are now available again after being deleted for years, compete with a bunch of bonus tracks, first up is

Pama International - Pama International (RRHIT10CD)


Pama Intl's self-titled debut CD was originally released back in 2002. The collective immediately set out their soul-induced ska, rocksteady and reggae stall. Featuring an all-star cast with members from Steel Pulse, Galliano, Pop Will Eat Itself, Bentley Rhythm Ace, Style Council, Big Boss Man and UK skasters The Loafers, Special Beat, Intensified and Ska Cubano, it has become something of a cult album in the UK and beyond. The album is crammed full of eclectic sounds. Old school meets new in this soundclash of 60’s ska, northern soul, lovers rock, rocksteady, and even a Sly & The Family Stone classic. The CD comes with 5 bonus versions, taken from the now deleted Pama Intl-Dub Store Special ep, which was mixed by Groove Corporation. These tracks also feature Lynval Golding (The Specials) and Lee Thompson (Madness).

Pama International - Too Many Freaks Not Enough Stages (RRHIT11CD)

After much critical acclaim for their first album Pama International returned with their second album “Too Many Freaks Not Enough Stages” in 2004. Produced by Fuzz Townsend, (insatible solo artist and drummer with Bentley Rhythm Ace and Pop Will Eat Itself), who also picked up drumming duties on the album. It's a much sparser affair, with some beautiful song writing. Again fronted by long time musical cohorts Sean Flowerdew and Finny,
The Too Many Freaks reissue comes complete with 3 previously unreleased demo versions and 'All About You' G Corp version (taken from the now deleted 'Dub Store Special' ep)

Both of these will be available in HMV and all good record shops. You can order them now direct

Any problems ordering online just email enquiries@rockersrevolt.com


PAMA INTERNATIONAL - I STILL LOVE YOU MORE (BONGOLIAN VERSION) & 7" VINYL

Also out in the next couple of weeks... The third (and last) in the series of Pama Intl's limited edition 7"s from 'Outernational' is set to be a version affair. Mirroring the second 7" (which featured I Still Love You More b/w Equality & Justice For All) the next 7" is set to be the killer soul version of 'I Still Love You More' (Bongolian version) and a dub of Equality and Justice for All. The first 2 singles were red and yellow vinyl, this on will be on green vinyl completing the set. Again it will be hand numbered/300 copies only. Be sure to pre-order your copy now if you want one. The first two 7"s have now both sold out.
