All tracks produced by King Jammys. Tracks 1-10 is "Duck Dance Competition" (1988) and tracks 11-20 are based on other riddims. Musicians are Steely & Clevie and Bobby Digital. Maybe one thinks that ten tracks of boosting Duck Dance Competition is too much for thee on an early Monday morning, but then again this music will make you tap your toes, move a little around and the deejays involved are enthusiastic: Irie!
