Without mentioning Half Pint, the true story about the Jammys label can never be told. King Jammy adopted a classic song ‘Open The Gate’ and versioned the rhythm digitally. The young Half Pint claims this wild world is ‘One Big Ghetto’. On the flip side, Tonto Irie showcases his skillful and edgy lyrical flow to the same rhythm.

One tough rhythm, five vocal cuts (one previously unreleased!) and two different dub versions, spread across two twelve-inches. Produced at Channel 1 in the mid '80s, then voiced in New York, this Mikey Jarrett production is one of our favorite heavy rhythms of its era.

The Skie Warrington 12' was only released in NY, and is presented as it was originally issued. The Scion Success 12' was issued in NY and the UK, originally released with a tune on a different rhythm on the other side. Here instead we present the fantastic and dark previously unreleased vocal from Madoo, to complete the version excursion.
