Cornell Campbell - I Man A The Stal-A-Watt LP
SKU: VPRL4221 OverviewDescription:
Cornell Campbell’s I Man A The Stall-A-Watt collects 13 tracks on
one vinyl LP, highlighting the singer’s prominence in the golden
era of reggae from the early 70s to early 80s. The title is a boast
from the early soundclash era when many of Campbell’s tracks, here
produced primarily by Bunny Lee, would play first on King Tubby’s
Home Town Hi-Fi in Ja-maica. The songs run the range from
clash-ready standards like “Mash You Down” and “The Gorgon” to
cultural com-mentaries like “Jah Jah Me Horn Yah” and “Bandulu” to
a lover’s masterpiece, “The Investigator,” which leads off the set.
Stretching into the early 80s, the collection includes two
originals that would spawn countless reinterpretations, “Rope In”
and “Boxing Around.”
Produced by Bunny Lee (tracks: A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B5), Joe Gibbs
(tracks: A6, A7, B2, B3, B6) and Ossie Hibbert (tracks: A5)
