Early B - Sunday Dish - Sunset

Early B first made an impact on Sound Systems at around the same time

as Josey Wales. Yet Mr.B has had to wait until now before debuting on

album. The reason for this comes down to Josey and Charlie. Those two

dominated the DJ scene in Jamaica around 82/83. And now comes Early B

with his 'Sunday Dish' produced by another DJ/producer Jah Thomas.

This album represents a serious challenge to Principle Charlie and

Colonel Josey. Early B's lyrics take in a wide range of subjects. Food

of course, religion, women, herb, while the best subject covered as to

be transport.

Early B - Ghost Busters - Black Solidarity

Good to see Early B getting into his stride. He and General Trees are

certainly the main contenders to Charlie And Josey. Like Trees, his

deejay style is quicker and is not so gruff. This means that you have

to listen a little more than you normally would. Thankfully the man

does not chat nonsense, so once you've tuned in, you have plenty to

listen too. Themes here include religion, road safety, and family

planning. Produced by Ossie Thomas, Triston Palma and G.Robertson for

Black Solidarity.

Early B - Four Wheel No Real - Midnight Rock

The combination of Jah Thoams as producer and Early B was likely to

produce a good result again. And it has. This is, his second album for

Jah Thomas. Like the first, It's current themes that provide Early

with the best inspiration. 'Four Wheel No Real' picks up form where

'Pedestrian' on the 'Sunday Dish' album left off, introduced by a

wonderful sounding jabbed piano, this title track tells of life on

everything but four wheels. On a computer theme - 'Computers Take

Over' he asks "What dem a go do with Early B"
