:.: Notes And Information About The Release :.:
';: ........................................... :;`
' `
Prince Hammer was born Berris Simpson in 1953 and grew up in
a rough ghetto of Kingston. The first producer who gave him
a chance was Glen Brown, who recorded two singles : 'Tel
Aviv Rock' and 'Sugar Down There'. His first stage
appearance followed shortly in Kingston with promotor and
singer Clancie Eccles. Success in Jamaica and the UK
followed with the tunes 'King Of Kings' and 'Adis Ababa',
but it was the song 'Ten Thousand Lions' that made hime a
household name in the UK. In that period he scored with the
self produced tune Dreadlocks Ting. The tune Dutty Man Skank
is across the same riddim. His first album was called 'The
Bible' and produced by Blacka Morwell. From this album comes
the tune Flash Your Dread. He also starred in the movie
'Rockers'. During this period his friendship with Prince Far
I and Adrian Sherwood resulted in the UK for 'Roots
Encounter Part One', where he performed with roots singer
Bim Sherman and Price Far I. The release of his second and
third album followed, entitled 'Roots Me Roots' and
'Vengeance'. After a while he began to divide his time
between recording and community youth work, setting up the
'Movement Of Youth Project' which encouraged young people
into music. During the Brixton riots he recorded the track
Brixton Trial And Crosses on the Josiah label which went to
number two in the Black Echoes chart. The tunes on the album
were all recorded during the period 1976-1982. Prince
Hammer's militant deejay style is evident on all tracks
here. As a producer he worked with Rod Taylor and Jennifer
Lara. Included here is Rod Taylor's awesome roots tune Words
Of Parables, followed by the dub version Sadam Dub. The
track She No Jestar is a previously unreleased song. The
album closes with two strong productions by Dr. Alimentado.
First comes Never See Come See, followed by Sabbath Day.
Although Prince Hammer is comparatively unknown, his outings
gathered here are a prime example of the militant deejay
style of the seventies.
