Dancehall Classics Vol 1
The Prince became a King, never a truer word spoken when you look at the career of King Jammy. We focus here on the
early days of the Dancehall scene which stretched across the 1980s. Picking up the story at the tail end of the 1970s,
just before the sound became digital and computerised. King Jammys production always being of such high quality, that
telling the difference between his analogue and digital productions was always a job for the experts. As you can see
from the recording details all these tracks were cut in those heady 1977-1979 days. The reggae sound again was about to
turn into what we would later know was its Dancehall period. Although cut in the late 70s, some of these tracks would
not become hits until 1980s had arrived. King Jammy pivotal 1985 cut Wayne Smiths "Under Me Sleng Teng" based on digital
computer rhythm, was still a few years away.
