Cornell Campbell – I Man At The Stal-A-Watt LP Released 19/07/19

Description

I Man A The Stal-A-Watt highlighting the singers prominence in the golden era of reggae from the early 70s to early 80s. The title is a boast from the early soundclash era when many of Campbells tracks, here produced primarily by Bunny Lee, would play first on King Tubbys Home Town Hi-Fi in Jamaica. The songs run the range from clash-ready standards like Mash You Down and The Gorgon to cultural commentaries like Jah Jah Me Horn Yah and Bandulu to a lovers masterpiece, The Investigator, which leads off the set. Stretching into the early 80s, the collection includes two originals that would spawn countless reinterpretations, Rope In and Boxing Around.
