This is a tribute to the man behind dancehall classics like "Pirates`Anthems", "Dancehall good to we", "Telephone Love" and
"Mr. Bodyguard"It contains big tunes from the late 80's until the early 90's. This includes the last unforgettable period for artists
like Dennis Brown, Mighty Diamonds and Gregory Isaacs, as well as the bridge over to the US market for the biggest artist
of the time, Shabba Ranks! Some of the best efforts in this mix come from Cocoa Tea and the man with the longest lasting
career in the JA music business - the great Freddie McGregor.
It is also an era with many great female performers in reggae music, with successful tunes from J.C. Lodge, Deborahe Glasgow
and the underrated Lady G.
The music that came out of Gussie's production house was sometimes close to over-produced, but it was music that was clearly
meant to last, and to reach beyond the borders of Jamaica. And although the lyrical content was in the established tradition of the
dancehall of the 80's, the music itself was like nothing ever heard before. That, and the fact that we are dealing with well-crafted songs
from the best artists of the time, ensures that the tunes here will still mash up any dance.
