GREGORY ISAACS' "Showcase" (1980), hailed as one of the classics of the 〈TAXI〉 label, gets a reissue! A perfect match between his aching tenor vocals and the light, percussive dub steered by SLY & ROBBIE. A gem that also bottles the atmosphere of the film "Rockers," in which Isaacs himself appears.
Track List
A reissue of the showcase album by the Cool Ruler, legendary reggae singer GREGORY ISAACS \u2014 counted among the classics of the TAXI/SLY & ROBBIE production canon! Produced by SLY & ROBBIE and recorded at CHANNEL ONE studio. It opens with "Soon Forward," the masterpiece title track of his previous year's album, and also includes a cover of BOB MARLEY's "Slave Driver." (Original Japanese text by Akie)
