Description
This album showcases the reggae music made by Unity Hi-Power, a leading London sound system of the 1980s. Unique sounds London Dancehall from 1986 till 1989.This album showcases the reggae music made by Unity Hi-Power, a leading London sound system of the 1980s. It is presented as the next-generation companion to Honest Jons' recent compilation of Trinidadian calypsos, 'London Is The Place For Me'. The mood is more defiant -- a Jamaican secession from London -- with themes of inner-city sufferation running alongside hymns to the dancehall and the herb superb. For the music, only a tiny handful of reggae labels outside Jamaica have sustained such exhilarating originality. Nothing in English reggae comes close. 'Watch How The People Dancing' celebrates a watershed in the transition from classical reggae to ragga which is magnificently unique to London, a music deep inside its own traditions but nodding to US hiphop and house, and pointing to the new English breakbeat.' Features tracks from: Selah Collins, Mikey Murka, Errol Bellot, Kenny Knots, Richie Davis, Peter Bouncer, Jack Wilson & Demon Rockers. Comes as a doublepack vinyl in thick carboard sleeve (fifties style!) with nice photo cover and beautiful information sheet with historic tale and unique pics. Well recomended!!
