Early B, Super Cat - Early B Meets Super Cat (Remastered) (2025) [Official Digital Download]

Presented by Acid Jazz on Roots Records, a first-time reissue of classic dancehall recorded for Jah Thomas ‘Midnight Rock’ label, previously only issued as a promotional ‘white label’.

Midnight Rock was home to many of the great voices of dancehall, with producer Jah Thomas at the helm, adding vocals to the high-quality rhythms recorded at Channel One studios with the legendary, de facto resident band Roots Radics.

Thomas made some of the earliest recordings for both Early B and future super star Super Cat, and as Super Cat became the hottest name on the scene, Thomas lined up a showcase album featuring a side from each artist. A small number of white labels were pressed up, but the release never got further.

Side A gathered up four of Early B’s most well loved cuts including Visit Of King Selasie, Sunday Dish, Pedestrian and Cane Man A Fe Bath. It also included a track called Set Up Yourself Right, which was never released elsewhere, but Thomas himself remembers playing well from the various sound systems he gave test cuts to.

Side B featured the 5 cuts that Thomas had made with Super Cat, showing him fully formed even at this formative stage in his career. Dance Inna New York has since had a second life since being sampled by Nas on Nas The Don, but every track from Way Dem A Fight Fa through Ever Ready, to Walk A Ton and on to Me Glad She Gone are a great combination between producer and vocalist.

Presented on a striking and effective sleeve layout, evoking the records status as a lost white-label classic, with stamped ‘Midnight Rock’ logos across the sleeve and labels.
