Greetings, Stubborn Massive! Isn't life beautiful? When you've got good tunes and good friends, how could it not be? That's what Stubborn Records is about. Bringing like-minded people together over a great record, awesome CD, cool t-shirt, pin, patch, etc. Surely, some of the 700+ items on http://www.stubbornrecords.com {http://www.stubbornrecords.com} may hold a special place in your heart. Maybe some of these will make new memories for you:

The Slackers - NYC Blue and White Embroidered Patch {http://www.stubbornrecords.com/shop/customer/product.php?productid=23792&cat=&page=1} The Slackers have been a favorite of the Ska world for years now. Here's a refined version of their classic logo, hot off the embroidering machines!

Trojan Helmet - Blue and White Embroidered Patch {http://www.stubbornrecords.com/shop/customer/product.php?productid=24246&cat=&page=1} You know the design, you love the design. Now bust out a needle and some thread and sew this high quality patch all over everything you own!

Desmond Dekker - Rudy Got Soul: 1963-1968 (2 CD) {http://www.stubbornrecords.com/shop/customer/product.php?productid=24243&cat=&page=1} Desmond Dekker was one of the biggest international stars in Reggae, Ska, and Rocksteady. This collection of 46 songs on 2 CD's includes tons of tunes you know, and tons more you may not! This is a definitive collection of his early works under the legendary Leslie Kong. One listen to this will pretty much blow you away.

Prince Buster - Wreck A Pum Pum LP (Jamaican Import) {http://www.stubbornrecords.com/shop/customer/product.php?productid=24242&cat=&page=1} Prince Buster was as important to Early Reggae as anyone. He wrote some of the most enduring tunes in Jamaica. He also made audiences laugh and dirty-dance with his Slack reggae, like we have on this record. Almost 40 years later, this stuff is still entertaining, and still gets the same reaction from listeners!

V/A - Lee "Scratch" Perry - Born in the Sky (1969 - 1975) CD (British Import) {http://www.stubbornrecords.com/shop/customer/product.php?productid=24244&cat=&page=1} This is a compilation of some incredible Lee Perry productions spanning the years of 1969-1975! These are mostly rare cuts, including some previously unreleased songs and alternate takes of songs you may have heard before. There's some serious ORGAN-DRIVEN early reggae on here, and some brilliant roots and dub. All with Scratch at the controls!

The Pinstripes - The Decay CD {http://www.stubbornrecords.com/shop/customer/product.php?productid=24245&cat=&page=1} The Pinstripes' newest album, "The Decay," is the perfect addition to any ska and reggae fan's collection. The ten tracks on the CD run the gamut between traditional ska, reggae, two-tone, and even a little ska/punk. The most focused and honest effort from the Cincinnati based group to date, "The Decay" is not an album that is easily cast aside; one listen will not be enough. For fans of The Slackers, Skinnerbox, and The Planet Smashers.
