Lionel Ganja Barrett - Rasta Cowboy / Black Roots Band - Rasta Cowboy Dub
Chopper Productions / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1983
¥1680 (US$10.65)
From the mid '80s, a cut on Choppers' own wicked lick of Channel One's "fight fight" riddim. Chopper's lick was laid and mixed at Channel 1 with the Black Roots Band aka Gifted Roots Band. The tune is from Lionel 'Ganja' Barrett, himself a member of the Chopper crew, and one of the first artists released on the label. 'Rasta Cowboy' is his signature tune, an ode to a self-reliant cowboy-like life.
Bobby Melody - Original Melody / Black Roots Band - Original Melody Dub
Chopper Productions / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1983
¥1380 ¥1680 (US$10.65)
From the mid 1980's straight thru until the early 90's, Choppers were steady releasing tunes both in Jamaica and NYC, and from young upcoming artists and veterans alike. 'Original Melody' is from Bobby Melody, letting you know none a them a ruff like the original! We were saddened by Bobby's recent passing, but let this tune serve as a reminder of what a great singer he was. This tune is backed with its own unique and wicked dub, a different mix to the dub side of 'Rasta Cowboy', which uses the same rhythm.

on Hickey. "Cooperate" is one of his best tunes, on a pure killer digital cut of the 'billie jean' riddim.

Firehouse / Dub Store Records JPN 1988

When it comes to naming the best dancehall compilation album, many will mention an album called "Sound Clash Dubplate Style" produced by King Tubby. "Line Up" by Johnny Osbourne was taken from the album where he showcases his enchanting melodies and lyrics and Trevor Levy's voice echoes calmly with vigorous lyrics on the flip side. Also both songs feature an intro by legendary MC Fuzzy Jones.
