Roots With Quality

£19.99

Released: 16th August 2024. During the years that followed his breakthrough as an independent record producer in the early 1970's, Winston Holness AKA Niney the Observer repeatedly demonstrated an unerring ability to produce significant works. By the onset of the next decade and the arrival of the new dancehall sound, he was well and truly established as one of Jamaica's most innovative and successful music makers, having secured major hits for some of the island's finest talents, their number including Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Freddie McGregor, Horace Andy and The Heptones. Now, for the first time ever, the very best of his dancehall output from the early '80s has been assembled for this 2CD collection, with the first disc showcasing vocal works and CD2 presenting the best of his dub sides from the period. And with almost 40 tracks new to CD this is a must-have collection for all fans of high quality pre-digital reggae sounds.
