An original and quite rare first pressing of the debut album by Johnny. Notice how his name is mis-spelt Jonny Clark on the cover. Here Bunny Lee's production coupled with King Tubby's mixdown nices up the young star's great vocal. At this time, Johnny truly was the Gorgon ruling Jamaican dancehalls with his sweet delivery and handsome good looks. Genesis of a supa!
The 'None shall escape' riddim gets licked over twice by Johnny. Firstly, on 'Joshua's word about the Gun Court', where the late Michael Manley's attempt in the early 70s to rein in the Kingstonian gunmen with his radical plan gets a mention. Secondly, the original Earl Zero lyric gets a run on the start of the B side.
During the years 1975-1981, the period that Bob Marley and the Wailers gained their huge international audience, three singers ruled the Jamaican dancehall - Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs and Johnny Clarke. Both Dennis and Gregory went on to attract considerable recognition outside Jamaica; of the trio, Johnny Clarke is still the least known internationally. Yet he alone can truly be called the founder of the modern style of Jamaican dancehall singing. His work in the seventies for producer Bunny Lee is exemplary in this respect; during the period of their association, they literally changed the way that Jamaican music was to be recorded henceforth. After Johnny Clarke came all the modern dancehall singers, beginning with Sugar Minott and Linval Thompson, then continuing with such as Sammy Dread, Little John, Frankie Paul, Barrington Levy and many more up to the present.
