With producer Jah Thomas at the helm, the Midnight Rock label was home to many of the great voices of dancehall. Thomas made some of the earliest recordings for both Early B and Super Cat, and as the latter became the hottest name on the scene, Thomas lined up a showcase album featuring a side from each artist.
Only a small number of white labels were pressed. Side A gathered up four of Early B's most well-loved cuts including "Visit Of King Selassie", "Sunday Dish", "Pedestrian" and "Cane A Fe Bath". It also included a track called "Set Up Yourself Right", which was never released anywhere else.
Side B featured the 5 cuts that Thomas had made with Super Cat, showing him fully formed even at this formative stage in his career. "Dance Inna New York" has since had a second life since being sampled by Nas on "The Don", but every track from "Way Dem A Fight Fa" through "Ever Ready", to "Walk A Ton" and "Me Glad She Gone" are a great combination between producer and vocalist.
Presented on a striking and effective sleeve layout, evoking the records status as a lost white-label classic, with stamped Midnight Rock logos across the sleeve and labels, this is a chance to own this elusive piece of reggae/dancehall history.
