West Of The Sun produced by Coxsone Dodd, Tappa Zukie, Henry Lawes for Studio One, Volcano in 1971
West Of The Sun Riddim brings together a compact eight-track Studio One, Volcano set from 1971, produced by Coxsone Dodd with Tappa Zukie and Henry Lawes. Jackie Mittoo’s title cut sits at the center of the release, and the lineup stretches from Big Joe’s Get Out Baldhead and Tappa Zukie’s Don’t Shoot The Youth to later-cut classics from Brigadier Jerry, Johnny Osbourne, Purpleman, and Everton Blender. It draws on the old Studio One groove with a mix of roots, culture, and dancehall voices, while keeping the original Jackie Mittoo instrumental as the anchor.
