Johnny Clarke - A Ruffer Version: At King Tubby's 1974-1978

Johnny Clarke was a sensation in the 1970s,
especially so in Jamaica where he enjoyed one big hit after another
between 1974 and 1980.
Teaming up with the island's number one
hit maker, Bunny Striker Lee, Clarke and company set the dancehalls
alight with a series of blazing "rockers"-style originals
and King Tubby's version sides. A RUFFER
VERSION collects a healthy number of Clarke's biggest hits, each
presented alongside Tubby's wild dub cuts and/or alternate
vocal takes. As such, this collection is all killer &
captures the singer, not to mention Bunny Lee and King
Tubby's each at the peak of his considerable powers. Along with
Pressure Sounds' DREADER DREAD, this is an essential Johnny Clarke
