Classic early '80s dancehall from one of the genre's most distinctive voices reissued on vinyl
Classic early '80s dancehall from one of the genre's most distinctive voices. Reggae Feelings captures Anthony Johnson at his peak, backed by the legendary Roots Radics Band and produced by Jah Thomas at Channel One and mixed at King Tubby's.
Originally released in the early 1980s, this album stands at the crossroads of roots reggae and emerging dancehall, pairing heavyweight rhythms with Johnson's melodic, street wise vocal style. The Roots Radics' stripped down, driving grooves -- overseen by rhythm architects Errol "Flabba" Holt and Lincoln "Style" Scott -- provide the perfect foundation for timeless cuts such as "Fussing & Fighting," "Reggae Feelings," and "Dread Locks."
A key sound system album that helped define the mid period dancehall sound, Reggae Feelings remains as powerful today as it was on release -- rough, raw and deeply authentic Jamaican music.
This edition is pressed on 180 gram heavyweight vinyl and features extensive sleeve notes, making it essential for reggae collectors, sound system devotees and fans of classic Channel One productions.
