Jah Thomas - Dance on the Corner LP
Jah Thomas - Dance on the Corner LP
Radiation Roots (Italy)
Toaster Jah Thomas began his career on the west Kingston sound systems of the mid-1970s, making a massive splash with Midnight Rock in 1976. After a debut LP for Channel One, his self-produced Dance On The Corner raised the bar several levels. Voiced at King Tubby's studio, mixed by Tubby, Jammy, and Scientist and edited by the King himself, the album has Thomas chatting over hard Roots Radics rhythms earlier used by Barrington Levy -- the perfect platform for Thomas' relaxed chants, vexed rants, and commentaries on Jamaican life. This is Jah Thomas at his best -- a must for all fans of reggae, dub, deejay, and dancehall!
