"During the mid-'70s in downtown Kingston, it was a heavy time both musically and politically. The climate was defining the music and everything was dread. During this time, Tapper Zukie was establishing himself as named star on the DJ roots circuit and would become a favorite with the UK punk scene. Back home however, Tapper was also getting a name for his production talents, of which here we have 15 examples. Here Kingston Sounds have selected some fine cuts from this period with singers such as Horace Andy, Cornell Campbell and Prince Alla, as well as lesser known ones such as Ba Wisdom and Putto Black. Of course no Tapper Zukie collection would be complete without the man himself dropping some lyrics, so there's a couple of cuts from him, too, including a sound clash with Jah Mikey."
