Tapper Zukie  - The musical intimidator

Wonderful stuff, been waiting for this, just love it. After the originators and as we moved into the 70’s Tapper was the man for me.  There were others, Jazzbo, Dillinger, Trinity, Dr Alimantado but Tapper was it.  MPLA and Pick up the Rockers were enormous set against the backdrop of the Revolutionaries Channel One.

This is a cracking album from the lazy but heavy riddims of Man A warrior right through to Natty Dread a Weh She Want and Raggy Joey boy. Yes as the apt title suggests it was head on, it was intimidation, it was hard but it was distinctive, thoughtful, meaningful and critical yet amongst the lead there were great harmonies  use of everything to the fullest.

So so many top cuts, no favourites but the MPLA album will always remain strong especially Rockers, Chapter a day and the heavy Tribulation.  Up to 1977 was the best period and this takes over a CD and a bit.  Also there is some collaboration included because if memory serves the Ballistic Dread was Leroy Smart Ballistic Affair. Re emerged in 82 with a big cut with Horace Andy Natty Dread a weh she want.

Cant speak highly enough of this especially CD1
