A selection of roots and heavy rub a dub tunes cut in the first dancehall era of 1979-1985 before Sleng Teng brought in the second era. Lots of Junjo, Linval Thompson and Prince Jammy productions as arguably they were the leaders of the music at the time. Please share far and wide and most importantly, enjoy. Bless Up. Gordy.
