Dr. Alimantado - Best Dressed Chicken In Town

Best Dressed Chicken in Town was first released in 1978 and became a huge hit with punks in the '70s when Johnny Rotten heavily plugged it's cosmic babble in an interview. This Debut consists of tracks laid down at King Tubby's, Black Ark, Channel One & Randy's Studios from 1974 to 1976. Dr Alimantado is assisted with the vocal talents of Gregory Isaacs, Horace Andy, Jah Woosh, Jackie Edwards & even enlisted top engineers /producers like Lee 'Scratch' Perry, King Tubby, and Scientist to add their own alchemy to the mix. The dub-inflected tracks and Alimantado's idiosyncratic musings prove a potent combination, part of this album's charm derives from the different production styles that offer plenty of variation and a delightful listening experience.
