Principle produced by Henry Lawes for Volcano Records in 1982
Issued in 1982 on Volcano Records, Principle Riddim was produced by Henry Lawes and keeps things lean with just two cuts: Leroy Smart’s Principle and Yellowman and Fathead’s Come When I Call You. The pairing brings together a smooth vocal turn from Leroy Smart and the unmistakable energy of Yellowman alongside Fathead, with the latter track tied directly to Lawes’ Volcano production work from the same year. As a late-era early-’80s dancehall piece, it reflects the stripped-back, singer-and-deejay approach that helped define the period.
Principle Tracklist:
- Leroy Smart – Principle
- Yellowman & Fathead – Come When I Call You
