Campbell started recording for ska pioneer "Sir" Coxsone Dodd in 1959, then sang lead for both the Uniques and the Eternals in the 60s. In 1972, he began a fruitful partnership with producer Bunny Lee, whose nickname inspired the Gorgon business that takes over the set's first three tracks ["The Gorgon", "The Gorgon Speaks" and "The Conquering Gorgon"!). Lee shapes the majority of this disc's contents, using a host of key players which include Carlton Barrett, Earl "Chinna" Smith, Robbie Shakespeare, Tommy McCook and Earl "Wire" Lindo. Most of these numbers were recorded at King Tubby's, with the master dubber at the controls, but still retaining some sense of song-form "reality". Campbell is sweet-voiced throughout, holding his golden notes in mid-air. "The Gorgon Speaks" stands out, with its extra-spacious bass part, hissing hi-hat and dense horn stabs, then the album's title track maintains an accessible, uptempo stride, with jabbing organ fills courtesy of Lindo. Three versions of "Dance In A Greenwich Farm" are spliced together, a lolloping feast from Dr. Alimantado, The Aggrovators and Campbell himself, while "Two Face Rasta" boasts one of the collection's strongest melody lines, winding up, down and around, with a particularly nimble vocal performance.--Martin Longley
