Synopsis

Product Description
At this point, there is no greater living example of a trendsetter in the music of Jamaica as the man known throughout the reggae world as The Godfather of all DJs: U Roy. This second volume of music from Sound System Records contains many of his rarest and most sought-after sides, from 1971-1975. Originally released on 45s in Jamaica and England, Foundation Skank shows this artist as the continuing master of the form he perfected on the groundbreaking hits made for Duke Reid. Using the finest rhythms from the foremost producers of the day, these sides contain his collaborations with the most popular singers of the time such as Slim Smith, Ken Boothe, Johnny Clarke, Delroy Wilson and Dennis Brown.
