Having been promoted from Prince to King, the man Jammy was firing on all cylinders as the 1970's crashed into the 1980's with dancehall sparks flying erroneously. Yet whilst this period marked the beginning of something new, is well worth looking back to the earlier period and rediscovering just how innovative Jammy was with more straight forward dub. Plucking fourteen gems from the vine, the production is crystalline and suggests digital methods were afoot long before they actually were - with the dub oozing out of the speakers with syrupy goodness. Including ace cuts such as Prince Jammy In A Lion Dub Style', 'In The Light Dub', and 'Fatman Riddim Section's Killer Dub', Jammy here proves why wears the crown...
