In Jamaican music terms, the phrase “discomix” refers to the extended mixes that became possible with the advent of the 12” single in the mid 70's, usually putting the dub or instrumental immediately after the vocal version. I guess that isn’t much different that US disco 12\"s from the same period, but you gotta understand that these 70's JA joints are hard as hell to track down. Almost never see a reissue. This collection includes a couple well known classics like Willie Williams’ “Armageddon Time,” but everything else is pure vault material.
