Tos5 was the first to bring you that release with:
Doctor_Alimantado_Best_Dressed_Chicken_In_Town_(1987)_rac99.
Special greet to him.
Its now my humble privilege to present you the remastered
version of that awesome album. And for collector addicts, its
the first album made by Greensleeves records.
NB. Dont forget to check the covers. A real must see :)
AMG EXPERT REVIEW: One-of-a-kind Jamaican DJ Dr. Alimantado
found unexpected fame with U.K. punks after Johnny Rotten
bestowed his blessings. The hoopla was certainly warranted
based on the high quality of his mid-'70s sides, several of
which are included on Best Dressed Chicken in Town. Handling
production chores himself, Alimantado enlisted top reggae
engineers and producers like Lee "Scratch" Perry, King Tubby,
and Scientist to add their own alchemy to the mix.
The dub-inflected tracks and Alimantado's idiosyncratic
musings prove a potent combination, especially on standouts
like "Poison Flower" (a version of a Horace Andy vocal), the
Rasta vengeance number "I Killed the Barber," and the comically
over-the-top title cut. Other highlights include the bubbly
"Unitone Skank," as well as the album's two instrumentals:
a predictably bizarre and brilliant Scratch mix, "I Am the
Greatest Says Muhammed Ali," and the Duke Reid homage
"Tribute to Duke" (based on Slim Smith's incredible rendition
of the Billy Stewart soul gem "Sitting in the Park").
Completing this very enjoyable disc are sampled vocals
by Gregory Isaacs and Jackie Edwards, the musical contributions
of great Kingston studio outfits like the Aggrovators, and,
finally, the tableau-like cover photo of Alimantado walking
the sunny streets of downtown Kingston.
Along with other unique dub and DJ titles like Mikey Dread's
African Anthem, Best Dressed Chicken in Town is a must for
reggae enthusiasts. -- Stephen Cook
