Produced by George Phang for Powerhouse in 1986, Upon The Roof gathers a strong late-dancehall lineup that includes Big Youth, Cutty Ranks, Half Pint, Conroy Smith, U Roy, and Tinga Stewart, with a version cut from Steely and Clevie tucked into the set. Half Pint’s A Long Road To Travel and Tinga Stewart’s title tune are among the key cuts, alongside Ruddy Thomas’s I’m The One Who Loves You and U Roy’s Promise Is A Comfort To A Fool. It’s a very recognisable Powerhouse-era slice, with that mid-80s Kingston polish, heavy vocal talent, and the kind of crisp, driving feel George Phang was known for across the label’s catalogue.
