Girls Fiesta

Vinyl LP reissue of the 1979 debut by the reggae great. Ranking Dread was as much of a myth and enigma as he was a music man and badman. But today he remains the connoisseur's Dee Jay, admired for his slick style and delivery and compared to other noteworthy DJ's of the time, can be seen as crucially under-recorded, having only released four albums and a handful of singles in his recording career. Girls Fiesta contains some tough Linval Thompson rhythms taken from various Linval productions, most notably his "Love Is the Question" album. This album stands at the crossroads of the Dee Jay phenomenon linking the eras between the might of I Roy and U Roy and the Dancehalls ruled by the Roots Radics rhythms. This is Rub a Dub at it's finest.
