Early B & Super Cat - Early B Meets Super Cat *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 20th June 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

Presented by Acid Jazz on Roots Records, a first-time reissue of classic dancehall recorded for Jah
Thomas ‘Midnight Rock’ label, previously only issued as a promotional ‘white label’.
Midnight Rock was home to many of the great voices of dancehall, with producer Jah Thomas at the
helm, adding vocals to the high-quality rhythms recorded at Channel One studios with the legendary,
de facto resident band Roots Radics.
Thomas made some of the earliest recordings for both Early B and future super star Super Cat, and
as Super Cat became the hottest name on the scene, Thomas lined up a showcase album featuring a
side from each artist. A small number of white labels were pressed up, but the release never got
further.
Side A gathered up four of Early B’s most well loved cuts including Visit Of King Selasie, Sunday Dish,
Pedestrian and Cane Man A Fe Bath. It also included a track called Set Up Yourself Right, which was
never released elsewhere, but Thomas himself remembers playing well from the various sound
systems he gave test cuts to.
Side B featured the 5 cuts that Thomas had made with Super Cat, showing him fully formed even at
this formative stage in his career. Dance Inna New York has since had a second life since being
sampled by Nas on Nas The Don, but every track from Way Dem A Fight Fa through Ever Ready, to
Walk A Ton and on to Me Glad She Gone are a great combination between producer and vocalist.
Presented on a striking and effective sleeve layout, evoking the records status as a lost white-label
classic, with stamped ‘Midnight Rock’ logos across the sleeve and labels.
Finally, the chance to own this elusive piece of reggae/dancehall history.
