"Wayne Jarrett is an artist from the front rank of reggae whose work for the legendary Wackie's label without question includes his very best. This 1983 release revived by Rhythm & Sound present the singer showcase-style, in mostly devotional mood. Wackie's sound is characterized by pervasive echo and deep bass: the atmosphere is luminous and unique. Several local artists made their names here, and a roll-call of great Jamaican artists including e.g. Leroy Sibbles, Max Romeo or Jackie Mittoo."

Label:	WACKIE'S (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	WACK 191CD

"Between stints in JA for legends like Glen Brown and Junjo Lawes, Wayne Jarrett travelled from his Connecticut base to record this album during the same weeks as the sessions for Horace Andy's Dance Hall Style. These are two of the great vocal reggae LPs of all time. With Clive Hunt in full effect, Showcase Vol. 1 follows the six-track dub-showcase format (and Wayne never sounded more like Horace!), including four unmissable Studio One versions -- Azul's deadly 'Rockfort Rock', Sleepy's 'Every Tongue Shall Tell' (with outrageous Isley fuzz), yet another Heptones via Leroy Sibbles, and a killer 'Drum Song'."
