2022 repress. Some of
Barrington Levy
's most significant (and enduring) recordings from Channel One Studio, mixed by
Scientist
. Originally released in 1982. "It's difficult to overstate the transformative effect that Barrington Levy's earliest recordings had on the sound of Jamaican music. In late 1979, Levy's spare, hauntingly arranged early singles such as 'Shine Eye Gal,' 'Collie Weed,' and 'Shaolin Temple' completely overtook Jamaican dancehalls and streetside sound clashes. . . . By the time Levy released
Poorman Style
in 1982, he was arguably Jamaica's preeminent vocalist.
Poorman Style
features a set of punishing rhythms from the crack studio outfit
The Roots Radics
, with production work from singer-turned-label owner
Linval Thompson
and former
King Tubby
protégé Scientist. The title track -- a crisply observed sufferers' tale full of tragic notes and indelible details from everyday life -- hits particularly hard." --iTunes
