album in the stores over here either, but he features on Linval Thompson's Rockers from Channel One (Trojan CD).Lots of Loving is a pretty solid Ranking Dread album...Just checked the discography and it was Ranking Joe rather than Ranking Dread...Just checked the discography and it was Ranking Joe rather than Ranking Dread...Ranking Dread and Ranking Joe sound absoulutely nothing alike whatsoever.Not in style, tone or lyrics.Ranking Dread reissue, I'd be interested in the liner notes.Dozens left the island and, once safely abroad, saw the burgeoning cannabis trade a way of financing their battles and putting the JLP back on top.London under the name of errol codling in 1978.And there were always girls.In 1979, the amount more than doubled to 6445.Custom officials agree that most, if ot all of this growth can be attributed to Jamaican trafficking operations in london and Birmingham.Ranking Dread was a self title more than one individual might use but your article seems to make clear that the drug lord was the same RD as the one with "Hey Fatty Boom Boom " (and Lots Of Loving in his heart).JungleMood: Party MusicBy LocationJAMAICARecommended if you like ...So says Ranking Dread on his debut dub album.Originally released in 1982 this Dub LP has gained cult status due in part to the fantastic cover art of Rod Vass.To some this is THE DUB album by which all others should be measured.The masterful use of echo and reverb that goes to the outer edge of dub yet never loses control.Scientist flexes his muscles on Side B (LP) track 6 on the CD with an absolutely incredible show of echo control on the opening drum sequence, this track I play over and over.There were only 1,000 pressed in 1982 and very rarely do they surface to the buying public.This release will give everyone the opportunity to have their own copy and play it till it's worn out...I've had the pleasure of enjoying this album for many years, now it's your turn...When you subscribe to an Artist Lounge, MOG will send you a notification email whenever anyone posts about that artist.Jason Pierce Finished Spiritualized Album By Composing Movie Score For "Mr Lo...The album was recorded inna Jamdung but remixed at the Chalk Farm Studios in London by Syd Bucknor.Production as stated by Linval.Burning Sounds (not a Ranking Dread record per se and therefor not included in the discography).Ranking Dreads hit album.Sugar Minott and Ranking Dread himself.The second issuing of it was on the Freedom Sounds label.Freedom sounds with colored vinyls.It had gray backcover artwork instead of colour as on the Freedom Sounds release.So if anyone knows the year or maybe has a scan.The record finally got reissued by Jah Life on CD with some additional tracks drawn from Ranking Dreads discos released by Greensleeves.The latest reissue by Freedom Sounds also adds two tracks to the tracklisting.The album must have caught the eye of many a record collectors when it was sporting such fantastic artwork such as this one done by Rod Vass.Robbie (first side) and Scientist with the Roots Radics (flip side) prodiving what would be a truly interesting excursion of Ranking Dreads productions.Others have not been as keen to it.Even more interesting is that Ranking Dread recorded this one after he had broken out of prison where he was incarcerated for having shot a police officer, possibly Trinity Gardner who he shot in his mouth.After Silver Kamels reissue of Ranking Dreads great dub album I was hoping that it would be the first of many reissues to come.However I was never prepared for a treat like this!Two of the most underrated and forgotten deejays on one and the same record!Ranking Dread gets the first side of the album and Massive Dread the second.Cornell Campbell and Hortense Ellis.Every single track features Ranking Dread at his prime and the rhythms likewise as great!Massive Dreads side is a bit more diverse and features everything from rockers to digital 80's dancehall.Massive Dread got murdered when he tried to make a positive change for his community and the politicians didn't like what he was doing.Massive sounds almost more like Johnny Ringo than Ringo himself did.Even though a good song, the digital backing ruins the overall vibe of the album and pure and simple just doesn't fit in.Fortunately this track was excluded on the vinyl.Do yourselves a favour and go to the Silver Camel site, Silver Camel Audio, and pick this up.I'll add it to the page.The records with small purple hearts next to the titles are personal favorites of mine and very much recommended to pick up if you ever find them for a good price!All four tracks are something else.Craft discos we can only hope this one is in the pipeline!This was probably Ranking Dreads single greatest hit as it was a top ten pop chart hit.None of the tunes feature either Ranking Dread or Winston Godling (a bastardisation of Ranking Dreads given name, Winston Brown, and one of his aliases Errol Codling?Dennis Brown and Ranking Dread at their finest on a militant rockers rhythm.Crucial disco ought to be in any reggae listeners collection!Mixed and produced
