Sid Buck Records is a rocksteady & reggae-focused label dedicated to re-releasing the groundbreaking compositions of the legendary sound engineer Sid Bucknor. This collection will feature a curated selection of his most iconic works from the 60s and 70s, showcasing his undeniable influence on the development of the reggae genre. From his early experimentation with dub techniques to his innovative use of instrumentation, Sid Bucknor redefined the boundaries of reggae music producer. He cemented his place in the annals of music history. 

Sid Bucknor has worked with all the leading studios, record labels, and artists of the time in the reggae space. Such as Studio 1, Treasure Isle, Chalk Farm, Dynamic Sounds, Channel 1, Tuff Gong and Trojan. He also worked with legendary reggae artists including Bob Marley, Alton Ellis, Desmond Dekker, Ebony sisters, Webber Sisters and BB Seaton to name a few. He evolved over the years from a sound engineer to composer and producer and released many of the iconic songs on his own labels JamCan and Third World. Sadly much of Sid’s work has been unrecognized, and it is only now that account has been taken of his vast input to Jamaican music.

“This lack of recognition is not just for Sid Bucknor but many other Jamaican artists of the time. Hence, “Come out of darkness” by Spanky Brown, released on Sid’s JamCan label, drives our mission to bring integrity in reggae genre” – Quote by Byron Bucknor.

Whether you’re a long-time fan or discovering his work for the first time, this label is a must-have for any music producer lover. So, put on your headphones, turn up the volume, and get ready to experience the timeless sounds of Sid Bucknor.
