{"product_id":"rocking-vibration","title":"Rocking Vibration","description":"Over the past several years, the French Makasound label has been unearthing an impressive amount of obscure but top-quality roots reggae from the 1970s. This particular collection draws on the work of singer, songwriter, and producer Linval Thompson between 1977 and 1979; the songs compiled here were all recorded at Channel One and mixed at King Tubby's studio -- with the exception of the album's real find, a previously unreleased song titled \"Natty Pressure Them,\" which Thompson recorded at the Black Ark studio with Lee \"Scratch\" Perry. Frankly, that song is of more historical than musical interest; it's not bad, but not terribly exciting either, with unusually restrained and almost lackluster production from Perry. But several other tracks shine quite brightly: \"Black Woman\" is a fine piece of vintage lovers rock, and \"Rasta Children\" finds Thompson working in a solid rockers vein. He does a creditable job on the Ken Boothe classic \"Just Another Girl,\" and his one-drop sufferer's anthem, \"More Power,\" is also impressive. A couple of tracks (notably \"Jah Jah a Do It\") suffer from poor sound quality, but overall this is a welcome contribution to a solid catalog of lovingly prepared compilations from reggae's golden period. Recommended. ~ Rick Anderson","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42023773339813,"sku":"5036436117123","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/56e39ebdd41ca3a35659f112992d75f8.jpg?v=1777668878","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-de\/products\/rocking-vibration","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
