Another volume and lots of gems here.
To introduce the work of Junior Dan its best to quote the man himself: "I recorded first for Randy's, around 1967-68, then Joe Gibbs, GGs, Lee Perry, Treasure Isle, Channel One... I even did quite a bit of work for Harry J as well. I played bass on the Black Slavery Days sessions, and I was at the Rockers studios with Augustus Pablo from the start till I left Jamaica in 1980. I was with Burning Spear at the time of Hail HIM. This compilation is some of my own records - deep roots reggae from the 1970s." With a roll call like this you know this is Classical reggae - Black Ark, Yabby You and Augustus Pablo vibes - with contributions from The Upsetter, Fred Locks and the Twelve Tribes musicians, Pablove Black, Zoot Sims, The Light Of Saba's recording engineer Joseph Robinson, and King Tubby, amongst an illustrious rootical roll-call.
