5.0 out of 5 stars Dem hafi mash it up! Bim!, April 20, 2000

By	Rob Solo "robe619" (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This is the third session that Yellowman recorded with the late great producer "Junjo" Lawes. Oh! What a session it is! The entire CD is a great production. Undoubtedly one of the best roots-dancehall CDs ever made. Yellowman is accompanied by his early co-MC the late Fathead (Vernon Reid) and they are at their whimsical peak. Fathead deliveres what were his trademark noises: bim! ey! oight! and of course, ribbit! With songs like Pon-Wee-Line, Love Fat Thing, Come When I Call You, and Give Jah Thanks. Also included is their version of Bam Bam which had great success when Sister Nancy covered it. This is a must have for not only Yellowman fans, but reggae fans world wide. Ribbit!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Mellow Mood..., November 1, 1999

By A Customer

This album is one of the classic dancehall style reggae albums of all time.

It's amazing the wealth of sound that Yellowman and fathead can squeeze out of one chord progresion.

The perfect album to chill to on a warm sunny day.
