Heartbeat 11661-782-2 Originally released in 1997 One of the first and finest of the dancehall toasters, Lone Ranger came to prominence in the early '80s with a series of hits sporting vintage Studio One rhythms from the rocksteady and early reggae eras (this, of course, was a practice followed by a majority of dancehall singers and DJs during the first half of the '80s). The Other Side of Dub is one of reggae's essential dee-jay albums, and Lone Ranger is one of the founding fathers of the dancehall dee-jay business. Ranger recorded big hits for Studio One and was one of the artists responsible for the label's renaissance in the early eighties. On the Other Side of Dub contains nine top deejay performances as well as eight Studio One dubs. Also included is the extended mix of Keep on Coming a de Dance, one of the Ranger's signature toasts. Brilliant and infectuous, delivered with aplomb and rocksteady genius. Highlight: Barnabus Collins, which became a hit, even though Dark Shadows had never been on in Jamaica. The incredible Tribute To Marley and accomanying Version, which was recorded after his untimely death. Also My Conversation, which was a big hit and the hilarious Apprentice Dentist. Mashed up with pure excitement.
