This 1976 album, originally released on the Toronto-based label G Clef, has been reissued by Shella Records, a label dedicated to unearthing hard-to-find rare reggae. Sid Lovejoy, a singer who moved from Jamaica to Canada, worked as a welder while also running a record store, a studio, and a record label. It’s also interesting to note that he studied the organ under Jackie Mittoo, who was in Toronto at the time. Following the early version of “King Kong Man”—said to have been inspired by a friend who was threatened by a gang and faced a life-threatening situation—he returned to Jamaica and refined it into a killer track with a tough roots sound. This is a record of enduring resistance, also serving as a tribute to Sid, who passed away in 2025. Limited pressing. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
