Having saved enough money during a tour with Peter Tosh to buy 4 multitrack recording tapes, Sly \u0026amp; Robbie asked Gregory to voice a few songs for them. Because they had played on so many of his hits, Gregory generously agreed to do it for free to help bootstrap the new TAXI label. In 1979, Gregory Isaacs was by far Jamaica's most popular artist, earning his \"Cool Ruler\" nickname many times over releasing hit after hit, most of which were produced with Sly \u0026amp; Robbie, who at 25 years of age were already the hottest backing band. Out of these sessions came hits like \"Soon Forward\", a fabulous cover of Bob Marley's \"Slave Driver\" and 4 other potent tracks. There were no flimsy soul or pop covers: Gregory Isaacs, whose voice and range were at their peak, sang with clarity, depth, verve and confidence, with no unnecessary mannerisms. A must have for any serious music fan, this crucial album features extended so-called \"Discomix\" versions of all the songs, providing listeners with a generous serving of the Riddim Twins drum and bass extravaganza. In addition to the original album, we have added 3 dub versions that were only released in Jamaica, as B Sides of singles, in 1979. These have never been reissued until now and provide a fascinating glimpse into Sly \u0026amp; Robbie's drum and bass sound, which revolutionized Reggae music at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoon Forward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou'll Never Know\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotherless Children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlave Driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMistake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoing Downtown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Coming Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 843655018323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diggers Factory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vinyl Revival Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53235399786656,"sku":"843655018323","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/5899\/5360\/files\/4461515-3456491.jpg?v=1770372038","url":"https:\/\/vinylrevivalrecordstore.com\/products\/sly-robbie-present-gregory-isaacs-lp","provider":"Vinyl Revival Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
