Different Fashion: High Note Dancehall Collection Different Fashion: High Note Dancehall Collection CD

All recordings new to CD 11 previously unreleased tracks. Includes some of the biggest hits of the original dancehall era. By the time the strident sound of original dancehall came to dominate the Jamaican music scene at the close of the Seventies, Sonia Pottinger had long been established as one of the island's most influential figures. Since first making her mark as a producer of note in the mid-Sixties, she had remained at the forefront of the fiercely competitive industry, effortlessly adapting to changing musical styles. Her ability to keep her finger firmly on the musical pulse is impressively reflected with this set, which gathers the very best of her output during the golden age of dancehall. Included on this essential collection are popular works by some of Jamaica's finest talents of the era, with the island's top sessions crews, the Revolutionaries and the Roots Radics the chief musical accompanists. Yet despite the high quality of all of the recordings, every recording on this compilation appears on CD for the very first time, with 11 of the 33 tracks previously unreleased!
