If you know your reggae, you know this man is the son of the legendary Studio One recording artist Alton Ellis.
A product of the large migration of Jamaicans to Canada in the lates 60s mid 70s, the self-titled LP was recorded in Toronto (1979) with the super-heavyweight producer, Jerry Brown, for Summer Records (the Canadian answer to Lee Perry's Black Arc imprint and one of Canada's finest exports).
The record housed a couple of very large tunes in that beautiful Jerry Brown conscious dub fashion. The politically conscious, Stop You Fighting is a standout.
"Stop the wishing for silver and gold ... No more war on earth ..."
Critics Rating: Dynamite Stix
