Album Review

Excellent collection of stone cold, timeless vocal classics and their versions by the legendary Jamaican vocalist.

Horace Andy like many other Jamaican singers began his musical career at Coxonne Dodd’s Studio One. So impressed with the youth,Coxonne decided on a name change for the young artist and called him after his top songwriter of the time Bob Andy. So Horace Hinds became Horace Andy. We have selected six of the best tracks from Horace Andy's time with the producer Bunny Lee for this vinyl only special release. Matching the vocal cut up against its rare dub version. ‘Skylarking’ his working of The Heptones ‘My Guiding Sar’,alongside originals such as ‘You Are My Angel’.’Zion Gate’,’Money Money’ and ‘Just Say Who’. A great set where vocal meets version uptown.

Thanks to the original priate
