wiederveroeffentlichung eines lang vergriffenen album das 1982 erstmalig erschien und im channel one & harry j studio mit soldgie hamilton am mischpult und den musikern der roots radics eingespielt wurde. neun der zehn stuecke wurden von linval thompson selbst produziert, der titelsong der lp von henry junjo lawes. dieser basiert auf dem im not getting crazy riddim, der durch frankie pauls worries in the dance weltweit populaer wurde. der tune i spy wiederum hat den selben riddim wie eek-a-mouses do you remember. die riddims der stücke are you ready, call me, things couldnt be the same und holding on to my girlfriend kamen auch bei den legendären scientist dub-alben zum einsatz.

linval thompson’s album “follow my heart” from 1980 finally available on vinyl again.

distinctive tenor singer linval thompson honed his singing craft in his formative years, growing in the west kingston ghetto of three mile, where he was associated with dennis brown, johnnie clarke and al campbell. a subsequent move to new york brought him into expatriate act hugh hendricks and the buccaneers, with his debut recording, ‘no other woman,’ being made circa early 1974 at patrick alley’s art craft studio. a series of other singles followed from his new york sojourn, but the return to jamaica in 1974 led to more noteworthy singles for stamma hobson, phil pratt and lee ‘scratch’ perry, with ‘jah jah redder than red’ and ‘girl you’ve got to run,’ both cut at the black ark for pratt, being the most successful. yet, it was all but a prelude to the breakthrough success he would finally achieve upon teaming up with bunny lee for ‘don’t cut off your dreadlocks,’ one of the most popular releases of 1975, a debut album of the same name, issued by third world in 1976, contained some of his most outstanding material, including the devotional ‘jah jah the conqueror’ and ‘long long dreadlocks,’ the romance thriller ‘black princess lady’ and the anti-rude boy opus, ‘cool down your temper.’

the official re-issue of the dub classic -space invaders- available as extended 2lp vinyl-set with 20 tracks and poster. the original album from 1981 has been state-of-the-art remastered and is twinned with a second disc of the original vocal versions. all recordings recorded at channel one with the roots radics and mixed by scientist at king tubby’s with producer linval thomspon.

zum 50. jahrestag der unabhängigkeit jamaikas startete das label kingston sounds die compilationserie *listen up!*, die sich mit diversen stilen jamaikanischer musik beschäftigt. dancehall entwickelte sich zu beginn der 1980er-jahre auf der karibikinsel. der reggae-beat verlangsamte sich und rückte zu gunsten des sängers oder deejays in den hintergrund, später digitalisierten sich die beats zusehends. *listen up - dancehall* stellt einige der klassiker der frühen dancehall-Ära vor, u. a. von cornell campbell, don carlos, johnny clarke und dennis brown. listen up and enjoy!
