Dancehall Classics Vol.1
Kingston Sounds
REGGAE
The Prince became a King: never a truer word spoken when you look at the career of KING JAMMY..On this compilation the KINGSTON SOUNDS label focuses on the early days of the dancehall scene which stretched across the 80’s, picking up the story at the tale end of the 70’s just before the sound became digital and computerised. King Jammy’s productions always being of such high quality that telling the difference between his analogue and digital productions was always a job for experts. Many like SLY & ROBBIE took their cue from these tracks.
All the top flight hitters are here; JOHNNY OSBOURNE with his place evoking “Trench Town School” and his massive time defining hit “Folly Ranking”, the mighty BLACK UHURU with their politically charged ’Time To Unite’, and the sweet sounding voice of Mr SUGAR MINOTT pulling us all in with his ’Right Track’ cut. An essential document of a key era in Jamaican music.
