First retrospective of Joe Gibbs's dancehall productions. 22 tracks new to CD. Includes many of the biggest hits of the dancehall era. As the 70s drew to a close, the roots and dub sounds that had dominated the Jamaican music scene for much of the decade gave way to dancehall, a style that continued to find favour with reggae fans until the onset of the digital revolution of the mid-1980s. Aimed squarely at satisfying the demands of live audiences, songwriters largely abandoned the conscious lyrics that had typified the music of the preceding years, focusing instead on subjects which with their Jamaican audiences could readily identify. Meanwhile, the island's record producers revived classic rock steady and early reggae rhythms that had been created over a decade earlier, while giving the music an extra edge by introducing a dominant snare drum sound, which set it apart from the roots sound it superseded. Among the most successful of the old school music makers to adapt to the new style was Joe Gibbs, who between 1979 and 1983 released many of the most popular and enduring dancehall singles of the period. This long overdue 2CD collection brings together 46 of his most sought after productions from the first years of dancehall, including numerous major Jamaican hits, with 25 of the recordings making their CD debut!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoxing Around - Cornel Campbell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bam Bam - Kojak ; Liza\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Friday Evening - Joe Tex ; U Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Nice Up the Dance - Welton Irie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fist to Fist Rub a Dub - Kojak ; Liza\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jammin' So - Madoo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Love - Wayde Brammer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Green Bay Killing - Kojak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Can't Tek Mi Landlord - Lui Lepke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Quick Divorce - Barrington Levy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Money Man the Girl She Want - Prince Mohammed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Time Stiff - Junior Murvin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sky Juice - Kojak ; Liza\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Joe Grine - Madoo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ring Craft - Earth ; Stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hole in the Bucket - Kojak ; Liza\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Heavy Waist Line - Tyrone Taylor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Drunken Master - Ranking Joe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Woman - Barrington Levy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One Thousand Gal - Kojak ; Liza\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rope in - Cornel Campbell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love in a Jamdown - Lui Lepke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e No Children Don't Cry - Al Campbell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lover Man Style - Shorty the President\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Leave Fi Mi Gal Arlene - Ranking Joe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e DJ Sprit - Errol Scorcher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You-Mus-Si-Mouse - Lui Lepke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 12 Tribe Possie - Prince Jazzbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Two Timer - Cornel Campbell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Batman and Robin - Joe Tex ; U Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mine Yu Mouth - Barrington Levy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Late Night Movie - Lui Lepke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Good to Be There - Chalice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dreadlocks Girl - Sammy Dread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lawd Suh - Danny Mangaroo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love Problems - Echo Minott\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wife and Sweetheart - Barrington Levy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Princess - Sammy Dread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Back Way Mr Landlord - Madoo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Back Away - Prince Mohammad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Thousand Things on My Mind - Danny Mangaroo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Look How She Fat - Lee Van Cleef\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Talk of the Town - Ranking Toyan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Under Me - Errol Scorcher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Virgin Girl - Eek-A-Mouse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tribute to Bob Marley - Lui Lepke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50401059930386,"sku":"5013929281745","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/4196286-2983607.jpg?v=1729120365","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/various-artists-joe-gibbs-presents-dancehall-stylee-classic-dancehall-sounds-1979-1981-various-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
