Shanachie

Shanachie Records, founded in 1972 by Richard Nevins and Dan Collins, is one of the largest independent record labels in the world. Initially focusing on fiddle music, Shanachie released albums by renowned Celtic groups like Planxty, Clannad, and The Chieftains. Over time, they expanded their repertoire to include Latin American, African music, soul, country, reggae, ska genres. In 1989, Shanachie acquired Yazoo Records from Nick Perls and began releasing vintage jazz and blues recordings. The label's name derives from the Irish word "seanchaí," meaning storyteller. Notably, the Grammy-award winning Soweto Gospel Choir also releases albums on Shanachie Records.

The early label design was created by Bill Smith in 1975.

Currently distributed by E1 Music (LC 5762 / LC 05762), Shanachie Records continues to captivate audiences with its diverse range of musical offerings.

"Two Sevens Clash," became a massive hit in reggae circles both in Jamaica and abroad. The prophecies noted by the lyrics so profoundly captured the imagination of the people that on July 7, 1977-- the day when sevens fully clashed (seventh day, seventh month, seventy-seventh year) a hush descended on Kingston; many people did not go outdoors, shops were closed, an air of foreboding and expectation permeated the city. The song opens with a wailing, harmonised chorus. Culture was singing a new kind of hymn with soaring melodies, prophetic lyrics relating great historical events to present suffering, complex, driving rhythms which made the hymns danceable, and wonderfully subtle arrangements which remade the timeless simplicity of the hymn-like melodies into sophisticated statements. Two Sevens Clash, Culture's first LP, set a new standard for reggae music-- indeed for pop music all over the world. Culture went on to record a series of outstanding albums, remarkable in their consistency, but Two Sevens Clash remains their masterpiece-- an inspired work of enduring power.
