This 7″ vinyl, released in 1980 on the Black & White label as a US pressing, features Mikey Dread on the A-side and Al Campbell on the B-side. The record reflects the evolving reggae sound of the early 1980s, with a shift toward more stripped-down and rhythm-focused production.
The presence of Mikey Dread highlights the growing international reach of Jamaican music at the time, supported by his work in broadcasting and collaborations outside Jamaica.
Mikey Dread (Michael Campbell) was an influential figure in reggae, known for his “Dread at the Controls” radio program and his work with The Clash. Al Campbell is a veteran vocalist who began recording in the late 1960s and became known for his versatility across roots and lover’s rock styles.
