Horace Andy - Dance Hall Style LP

Recorded at Wackies’ Bullwackies studio just weeks apart from Horace Andy’s Dance Hall Style, these are two of the very greatest vocal reggae LPs of all time. Between stints in Jamaica for legends like Glen Brown and Junjo Lawes, Wayne Jarrett commuted to the Bronx from Connecticut. With Clive Hunt in full effect, Showcase Vol. 1 follows the six-track dubwise format of Dance Hall Style (Wayne never sounding more like Horace), including four utterly lethal Studio One versions — Azul’s killer “Rockfort Rock,” Sleepy’s “Every Tongue” (with outrageous The Isley Brothers fuzz), yet another Wackies’ The Heptones cut via Leroy Sibbles, and a murderous “Drum Song.” Hotly recommended.
