New York Life produced by King Jammy, Harold McLarty for Unknown Label in 1987
Produced by King Jammy and Harold McLarty in 1987, New York Life is a three-track set cut for an unknown label and rooted firmly in late-80s digital dancehall. Colin Roach’s Blood Pressure and Tonto Irie’s New York Life carry the riddim’s name through two different vocal takes, while the version cut keeps the instrumental front and centre. Jammy’s production style gives it that sharp, economical Waterhouse-era feel, with the dub version helping underline how lean and direct this period of his catalogue could be.
