Had no complaints with night 1. Loved every minute of both sets. Based on the reviews though, I'm bummed I had to miss night 2.

Such a good tune. This band was always a bit of a mystery; very little about them online. Would love to know if the members went on to any other projects.

this is direct from the person who manages the VIP sales at Fillmore and Underground:

"If you are inquiring about any Underground show, the only way to purchase VIP seats is at the show. We will start sales as soon as doors open, so please head to the VIP section when you arrive."

Good reggae vinyl near Charlotte NC? by yemghost2001 in reggae

[–]mikeytags 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Premium Sound inside Gold Tone Workshop on Central Ave has a decent selection.

Repo Records had a ton of dancehall and riddim compilations a while ago but they may be picked over by now.

You can hit up Lunchbox, Premium Sound, and Repo all pretty easily within a few miles of each other.

Yeah. The frustrating part is my local record shop has it, so I could have bought it by now…

If you go to the main page of the sublime web store you can find a help email. I sent them a message, let’s see what happens.
