REVIEW:
Jimmy Riley, tambien conocido como Buster Riley, nacio en Jamaica en 1955. como muchos artistas jamaicanos encontró su faceta de cantante en la escuela. Su primer grupo "The Sensations", lo formo a los 14 años junto a Cornell Campbell. Mas tarde y tras la disolucion de los Techniques (Slim Smith), decidio junto al propio Slim formar la banda de reggae The Uniques, en la cual tambien estaba involucrado LLoyd Charmers. Tras varios años de exitos, la banda se rompio "gracias" a la voluntad de Bunny Lee de sacar a Slim en solitario. Tras un tiempo a caballo entre Jamaica, Estados Unidos y UK, unos cuantas producciones y otros tantos hits, decide desaparecer y no se le vuelve a ver en la escena hasta que Robby Shakespeare le llama para trabajar. Es aqui donde el nombre the Jimmy Riley empieza a sobresalir y es donde produce sus ritmos mas exitosos. Este "Showcase" es el segundo trabajo de este maginifico cantante y productor. En este plastico podemos encontrar 6 cortes bien producidos por él, con sus versiones dub. Tremenda produccion roots de finales de los 70...
Jimmy Riley, also well-known as Buster Riley starts his singer career as most of jamaican artist, while he was studying. He met Slim Smith to formed a band but finally he joined with Cornell Campbell to play and they were "The Sensations" at the age of 14. Later, when Slim broke with The Techniques, both formed The Uniques with Lloyd Charmers. Three years hit after hit, Bunny Lee decided to give Slim became a solo artist so the band ends again. He tried to find new scenes along Jamaica, Usa and UK but Robbie Shakespeare makes Jimmy "most famous" in his reggae career, as a singer and producer. This "Showcase" is his second Lp release. This wax contains 6 track with dub, in a showcase style. A Killer riddim productions!!!
