When Coxsone ruled the dancehalls again4
By the mid-1970s, most successful frontline Jamaican producers were enjoying great success by recording their new artists performing over old Studio One and Duke Reid rhythms from the previous decade; Jo Jo Hookim at Channel One and Joe Gibbs and Errol Thompson being the best known.

Initially, Coxsone's response was to issue rather perfunctory covers of Channel One tunes on his "Budget" label, crediting the tunes to "Joe Steal" or "Copy Man", but by the late 1970s, aided by a fine new house band the Brentford Rockers, he hit on the idea of recording new artists over his classic original rhtyms, sometimes with modern overdubbing. Following the huge success of Sugar Minott's "Live Loving" and Freddie McGregor's "Bobby Bobylon", he was once again at the top of the charts, and he issued a vast number of 45s of up-to-date artists versioning his old tunes. This CD features a representative sample of his late 70s reworkings of the immortal Sound Dimension/Soul Vendors/Soul Defenders tunes.

This CD features some long-deleted 45s, such as "White Belly Rat" (on the "Pick Up the Pieces" rhythm), "Minister for Ganja" ("Full Up"), "Jah A the Creator" ("You Don't Love Me"), and Judah Eskender Tafari's gorgeous reworking of the Paragons' "Danger in Your Eyes". Recommended.
