38 tracks new to CD. Includes numerous dancehall classics from the early 80s. Features some of the biggest stars of the dancehall era. During the years that followed his breakthrough as an independent record producer in the early 1970s, Winston Holness AKA Niney The Observer repeatedly demonstrated an unerring ability to produce significant works. By the onset of the next decade and the arrival of the new dancehall sound, he was well and truly established as one of Jamaica's most innovative and successful music makers, having secured major hits for some of the island's finest talents, their number including Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Freddie McGregor, Horace Andy and The Heptones. Niney maintained his magic touch throughout the early 80s, working primarily with up-and- coming young performers, such as Don Carlos, Peter Broggs, Yellowman and Purple Man, whom he backed in the studio with the exemplarity musicianship of Jamaica's premier session crew, The Roots Radics. Now, for the first time ever, the very best of his dancehall output from the early 80s has been assembled for this 2CD collection, with the first disc showcasing vocal works and CD2 presenting the best of his dub sides from the period. And with almost 40 tracks new to CD this is a must-have collection for all fans of high quality pre-digital reggae sounds.
