Through his Midnight Rock label, he is also known as a formidable producer - making important records with the likes of Anthony Johnson, Early B, King Tubby and Super Cat.

Tracks are newly remastered and the package includes sleeve notes by reggae historian Tony Rounce ā a must-have for classic Dub and Dance Hall enthusiasts.
