12" Rulers CD - Jah Thomas - Various Artist
The `Twelve Inch Rulers' series concentrates on those
classic 12" singles that Greensleeves have released over the
years and that record collectors remember so fondly - and of
which, many have never appeared on CD. The previous two
`Twelve Inch Rulers' releases featured Henry "Junjo" Lawes
and Gussie Clarke. This release concentrates on the works of
legendary producer and DJ Jah Thomas. Jah Thomas was an
important figure on the Jamaican music scene during both the
roots era of the '70s and the subsequent dancehall decade of
the '80s. Besides releasing several DJ sides of his own in
the latter half of the '70s, Thomas also came into his own
as one of the island's top producers for both singers and
DJs. A bulk of these tunes were released in the UK on
Greensleeves with the majority surfacing on 12".Recorded at
Channel One, King Tubbys, backed by the Roots Radics, Sly &
Robbie.
