Dance Hall Champion
Original 1982 UK pressing in near-mint condition.
Reggae singer Johnny Clarke has long been a quiet force of Jamaican music, working on fiery roots tracks with Bunny Lee in the '70s, exploring dancehall in the '80s, and remaining active since then. Though not well-known outside of Jamaica, Clarke was one of the island's most popular reggae artists during the 1970s, ranking among peers like Horace Andy and providing an influence that would show up in later stars like Sugar Minott.
This 12-inch features some of his best dancehall work, topped off with a dub version by I.R.S.
