Item :
RICO ~ JAMA RICO LP
Original 1982 U.K. first issue pressing released on the 2 Tone label CHR TT5006.
Description :
Very rare and hard to find ska classic that has become increasingly collectable over the last few years.
Rico Rodriguez joined The Specials partway through that group’s early ‘80s career trajectory. Rico, his first name alone has long been an imprimatur of quality in Jamaican music, was at least a generation older than anyone else signed to the 2-Tone label. Of his tenure with The Specials, group founder Jerry Dammers once remarked that there was a lot less messing around at rehearsals, once Rico came on board.
Recording for his 1982 solo album "Jama Rico" was divided between English studios and producer/label owner Joe Gibbs’ facility in Jamaica. The Kingston sessions were engineered by the great Errol Thompson, who conjured inky ambiance throughout a series of fantastic dub albums in the ‘70s. It contains expert musicianship from, amongst others, Sly & Robbie, Ansell Collins, Tommy McCook & former Specials bandmate Jerry Dammers who co-produced two of the tracks.
