Description
Ranking Dread was as much of a myth and enigma as he was a music man and badman. But today he remains the connoisseurs Dee Jay, admired for his slick style and delivery and compared to other noteworthy DJs of the time, can be seen as crucially under-recorded, having only released 4 albums and a handful of singles in his recording career.
Born in 1956 in the Kingston slum of Rema, Dread spent his early career divided between being an enforcer for the JLP as well as learning his trade as a toaster on local sound systems. Trouble with the law instigated his move to London where his recording career began.
"Girls Fiesta" is Ranking Dreads first album, originally released in 1978 and contains some tough Linval Thompson rhythms taken from various Linval productions, most notably his "Love Is The Question" album. -
