Johnny Clarke was a sensation in the 1970s, especially so in Jamaica where he enjoyed one big hit after another between 1974 and 1980.Teaming up with the island's number one hit maker, Bunny Striker Lee, Clarke and company set the dancehalls alight with a series of blazing "rockers"-style originals and King Tubby's version sides. A RUFFER VERSION collects a healthy number of Clarke's biggest hits, each presented alongside Tubby's wild dub cuts and/or alternate
vocal takes. As such, this collection is all killer & captures the singer, not to mention Bunny Lee and King Tubby's each at the peak of his considerable powers. Along with Pressure Sounds' DREADER DREAD, this is an essential Johnny Clarke collection.
