Wayne Smith – Youthman Skanking

March 23, 2011

Wayne Smith’s debut album recorded, at Channel One and King Jammy’s, when the singer was only seventeen years old. Quality vocals over quality riddims make for a choice pressing. My recommendation is to serve up Prince Jammy’s Strictly Dub after this one as it makes an excellent companion to this pressing. The Waterhouse sound inna full effect. Mash it up!
