Freddie McGregor – Showcase [CD]

This long-awaited CD edition – a first official reissue in over forty years – revisiting Freddie McGregor’s early solo material. Freddie McGregor’s Showcase (1981), produced by roots reggae icon Winston ”Niney” Holness, is a product of the era’s vocal-and-dub ”showcase” format and a key release from one of Jamaica’s most iconic voices. Featuring dub-forward production and a seamless blend of Lovers Rock and conscious roots material, the album bridges the sound of 1970s Kingston with the more melodic direction that would carry McGregor into international success with ‘Big Ship’ the following year.The OverseerLovers Rock J.A.
