With Cream of the Crop 2026, Irie Ites Records continues it's annual compilation series, established in 2022 as one of the label's key yearly releases.

This new edition brings together a selection of the label's standout productions of the year, moving between roots reggae, rub-a-dub, digital sounds and sound system culture. The tracklist connects several generations of artists, including Prince Alla, King Kong, Norrisman, Micah Shemaiah, Jah Mason, Anthony B, King Lorenzo, Chezidek, Lutan Fyah, Midnight Riders, Junior Dread and Linval Thompson & Big Red. Several tracks had already started building strong momentum ahead of the compilation release, including Chezidek's Down Down Down, Micah Shemaiah's Hell A Go Pop and Jah Mason's Puff Puff Puff, while a number of new cuts complete the 2026 edition. The vinyl edition features 12 carefully selected vocal cuts. The CD and digital versions extend the experience with 7 additional dub versions, continuing the Jamaican tradition of vocal & version. With close to 700 productions released over more than twenty years, Irie Ites Records continues to connect reggae's foundations with today's international scene. Cream of the Crop 2026 is the latest chapter in that story: a collection made for reggae lovers, selectors, collectors and everyone following the evolution of the Irie Ites sound. Available on LP, CD and digital.

Shipping, Local Pick Up, Returns & Cancellations Policies.

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

LOCAL PICK UP POLICY:

Due to a large amount of unclaimed local pick ups over the years we have updated our policy. Any orders that remain unclaimed after 90 days from the initial "ready for pick up" notification will be considered abandoned and returned to our system without refund. If you are having issues picking up your order within this time frame please contact us via orders@1234gorecords.com. If you need your order shipped we can easily do so for an added shipping fee.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
