1985 MASTER MEGA HITS VOL 1 AND 2 – JAMMY’S RECORDS 1985
1985 Master Mega Hits Vol 1 and 2 – Jammys Records Overview
In 1985, the bashment flow was everywhere in Jamaica. Sound systems would set up on street corners and pump out the hottest dancehall rhythms, drawing crowds from every community. This energy was the heart of the scene, and fans still talk about it today. The riddim architect behind many of these hits was Prince Jammy, a legendary producer known for shaping the digital dancehall sound. He helped transform the music with his sharp production. On this release, you can hear his touch on tracks like “Jammy’s Special,” which stands out for its heavy bass and crisp drum patterns. The artists on this project are some of dancehall’s finest. Cocoa Tea, with his song “Hey Bobby,” brought his smooth vocals and conscious lyrics. Cocoa Tea is well known for hits like “Rocking Dolly” and has had a long, successful career. Eccleton Jarrett’s “Dance Hall Music” is another highlight, showing his unique style. Echo Minott, famous for the classic “Lazy Body,” delivers “Put You Hand Pon The Key” with his signature voice. Other artists like Frozel Pendernast with “Juckie Jam,” and John Wayne with “Call The Police,” add their own flavor to the riddim. Each track brings something special, making this release a true memory of the 1985 bashment sound that still gets people moving today.
