Reissue, originally released for the first time in 1983 on the UK label Vista Sound. Fight Against Corruption sees Cornell Campbell backed by most of The Aggrovators musicians (Sly & Robbie, Earl "Chinna" Smith, Jackie Mittoo, Winston Wright). The album was produced by Bunny Lee and Campbell itself, who -- here -- clearly skims some social criticism, but also does not disdain some more lovers tunes -- another killer album to love forever! Fully remastered and licensed; edition of 500.

Kingston Sounds present a reissue of Cornell Campbell's Boxing, originally released in 1982. What we have here is one of Cornell Campbell's great dancehall, early '80s set of songs. Dancehall was when the beat slowed down to that classic one-drop style that suited his voice so well. The album includes the title "Boxing" which was a massive hit for Cornell on its initial release in 1982. It also includes a dancehall reworking of "Queen Of The Minstrel" and a fantastic dancehall cut to Bob Marley's "Natty Dread". This was a new chapter in reggae's sound that saw the rhythm slowed down and seemed to add even more emphasis to the songs meanings. A reissue of Cornell's early '80s Boxing set is complete here. CD version includes four bonus tracks, a few more Cornell classics from the same period. Be sure to play it in full -- Cornell Campbell at his finest.

Radiation Roots present a reissue of Cornell Campbell's Dance In A Greenwich Farm, originally released in 1975. As noted on another release -- see Ropin' (RR 307CD/LP) -- Cornell Campbell has enjoyed one of the longest-running careers of any Jamaican singer, and he is blessed with a readily identifiable style too. He began his career for Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd in 1956, when rhythm and blues held sway in Jamaica, and later cut some ska songs for King Edwards. He then passed through the Sensations in the rock steady phase and worked as a solo singer at Treasure Isle, before returning to Studio One with the Eternals, scoring huge hits such as "Stars" and "Queen Of The Minstrel" as the '60s gave way to the '70s. His greatest phase of popularity was then brokered by hit-making producer Bunny Lee, who kept him on top right through the 1970s and into the '80s. The 1975 album Dance In A Greenwich Farm was first issued on the Grounation label in the UK. Along with a reworking of "Stars", retitled "The Sun", a reworking of "Queen Of The Minstrel", as "Girl Of My Dreams", and the sound system opus that is the title track, the album also has the boastful "Conquering Gorgon" and a number of keenly-observed cover tunes, including a cut of the Gaylads' "No Good Girl", a version of the Heptones' "Why Did You Leave Me" and a killer cut of the Uniques' "Watch This Sound" (based on "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield).

Radiation Roots present a reissue of Cornell Campbell's Ropin', originally released in 1980. One of the sweetest and most idiosyncratic voices in reggae, tenor singer Cornell Campbell, also has one of the longest-running careers of any Jamaican recording artist. Taken under Studio One founder Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd's wing at a very young age, Cornell cut his first recordings in 1956, long before ska was even established. He remained based at Studio One for many years, working as a label printer as well as a recording artist, and also voiced sides for King Edwards in the ska years. He then briefly joined the Sensations in rock steady and recorded at Treasure Isle, before moving back to Studio One as leader of the Eternals when reggae arrived, cutting huge hits there such as "Stars" and "Queen Of The Mistrel", and giving early coaching to Slim Smith, Jacob Miller, and bassist Robbie Shakespeare. Joining forces with ace producer Bunny "Striker" Lee in the mid-1970s brought a dramatic new surge in popularity that greatly boosted his profile overseas. The Ropin' LP was issued on Third World's Justice subsidiary in 1980 -- a sub label set up to handle Striker's product in the UK (though hits like "Mash You Down" and the title track had been handled in Jamaica by Joe Gibbs). One of the album's outstanding moments is "Bandulu", an anti-rude boy epic voiced on the "Late Night Blues" rhythm, while opening cover, "Just My Imagination", has an uncredited toasting portion from Errol Scorcher.

2016 repress. LP version. The soulful voice of Cornell Campbell has created so many fine tunes and his voice has been sprinkled over countless dub albums that might unknowingly already lie in your collections, as his vast catalog of Rasta influence, lover's rock, cover versions, dancehall and Gorgon-tinged tracks are so intertwined with the whole 1970s reggae era.
