Jacqueline Riddim – Volcano Records

Jacqueline produced by Henry Lawes for Volcano Records in 1981

Produced by Henry Lawes for Volcano Records in 1981, Jacqueline pairs Hugh Mundell’s roots voice with Toyan’s African Ting on a short two-cut release that leans into that early Volcano sound. The title track is the key cut here, with Mundell’s Jacqueline carrying the set’s deepest roots edge while Toyan brings a harder deejay contrast on African Ting. Henry “Junjo” Lawes was in the middle of his most productive period around this time, and this one sits neatly beside the label’s early-80s output that bridged roots reggae and the emerging dancehall style.
