2025 repress. "In the early 1980s, Yellowman pretty much ruled the dancehalls, only Josey Wales and Charlie Chaplin were a threat, at least until a small, furry rodent -- Eek A Mouse -- scurried onto the scene. And as different as these four DJs were, they did share one thing in common, studio time with producer Henry 'Junjo' Lawes, the man behind some of their greatest recordings. Mister Yellowman was the DJ's first album with Lawes, and remains one of his best. Backed by the seminal Roots Radics and Earl 'Chinna' Smith's Hi Times Band, the deep roots that both created were further finessed by Lawes into a simmering stew of dancehall-inflected rhythms shot through with dub. Thematically, Yellowman drifted between boasts about his appeal to the opposite sex and vignettes on everyday life, many delivered with a sly humor that was the secret to his success."

2025 repress. "Zungguzungguguzungguzeng went on to become a signature tune for Yellowman when coupled up on a massive hit Greensleeves 12" Disco 45 with 'Who can make the dance Ram.' Both sides on this set feature the group in their dance-corking glory. The album, produced by Henry 'Junjo' Lawes, is rightly regarded as a dancehall classic and highlights a wicked selection of Yellowman duets with his longtime spa Fathead. Zungguzungguguzungguzeng was proof then and now that as for ramming the dance, if anyone can, Yellowman can. Recorded and mixed at Joe Gibbs and Channel One. Engineered by Errol Thompson and Soldgie. Back by Radics and Hi-Times Band."

"The incomparable Yellowman is one of reggae's most popular artist, a dee jay/rapper with an uncanny knack for memorable lines and catchy melodies. His ability to entertain reigns supreme even when he's presenting a social commentary. During his early '80s breakthrough, when his prolific record sales made him the hottest new reggae artist on the scene, he frequently used his background as an albino who has experienced deprivation and prejudice as subject matter for his lyrics; he even boasted about it! In fact, the title of 'one in a million' is a direct reference to his albino condition. This LP is one of the high points of Yellowman's career , among the best of his break-through LPs . It includes such Yellowman hits as 'Operation Eradication,' (a serious commentary on the feared eradication square in Jamaica), 'Even Tide Fire,' and his signature rap 'Them A Mad Over Me,' making it a must for all yellow fans."
