One of the first albums released by the Upsetter, this is a good peek into what was happening at the time on the mighty isle of Jamaica. {|Ska|} was still in the grips of American {|R&B|}, and that influence runs rampant here. But, as always, the personality of {|Perry|} shines through and gives each track that Upsetter twist that keeps this stuff from being relegated to footnote status. A perfect example of this is the cover of {|My Girl|} here. Sure, it's the same song, but it also bears the unmistakable stamp of {|Perry|}, turning a cover of a song you've heard too often into a foot-tapping good time. Heartily recommended. ~ Rob Ferrier Less
