Thompson,linval - I Love Jah - Vinyl Record

Vinyl LP pressing. 1979 reggae album reissued on red vinyl. Amongst devotees' of 1970s conscious music the name of Linval Thompson is revered as a singer of several classics of the genre including 'Cool Down Your Temper' and 'Don't Cut Off Your Dread Locks'. From the 1980s onwards, while never forgetting his roots, Linval established a second career as one of the first, and most important, record producers of the brave new dance hall style. Although his reputation as a record producer has, on occasion, eclipsed Linval's many achievements as a singer, his superb self-produced albums for Burning Sounds are not only a timely reminder of the cultural roots and vocal talent of Linval Thompson but also serve as an indication of the direction that Jamaican music would eventually take during the following decade.
