Junior Tucker - It's A Small, Small World

Top Ranking LP 1978

Produced by Tommy Cowan

This is Junior Tucker's debut album, recorded at Harry J's and Dynamic Sounds when he was only 12 years of age. At the time he was called the Jamaican Michael Jackson and this album is proof of that. It is very enjoyable containing melodious and uplifting songs and a beautiful ballad (Who's Loving You)

Look Into Your Heart

Cornell Campbell - Boxing

Starlight LP 1982

Recorded at Channel One

During the heatwave over here it might be a little too hot for boxing, so instead listen and skank to this relaxed album, including scorchers such as "Queen Of The Minstrel", "Natty Dread" and "100 Pounds Of Collie"
