White Mice - Hortical
White Mice....born in 1970, in Montego Bay, Jamaica, Allan Crichton aka White Mice is a graduate of three sound systems -- Sugar Minott's Youthman Promotion, Jammy's Hi Power, and his hometown Ticka Muzik. His first break came at Sun Splash in 1985, when he and Little Kirk were called on stage to perform with Tenor Saw. Recording at King Jammy's and Channel One studios, with Junior Delgado at the controls, over next the few years Mice let off a series of records amongst the very deadliest of digital reggae -- nearly all on his brother Blemo's Intelitec imprint, out of Miami.
One of the earliest JR Production albums. The year is a bit vague but i think around the early 1990's. Anybody know?

Sin-Bad A Than Them
Another hard to find treasure from Ninja B's collection, thanks.
When he stepped out from behind the mixing desk and picked up a microphone, reggae producer Carl Dwyer became Captain Sinbad, a swashbuckling DJ with scant output. Sinbad first appeared on-stage with the Sound of Silence sound system featuring Sugar Minott. A few late-'70s albums for Henry "Junjo" Lawes were released before his 1980 single with a young Little John, "51 Storm," became a Jamaican dancehall favorite. The year 1982 saw the release of the full-length The Seven Voyages of Captain Sinbad on Greensleeves, while 1983 found him on Dillinger's Oak label for the "Hotter Reggae Music" single and the CSA label for half of the Sinbad & the Metric System album (the other half belonged to Peter Metro). The Oak compilation "Again" arrived a year later and then Captain Sinbad disappeared, with Dwyer shifting his focus to production.

Dirts Man - Acid
The main body of Dirtman's tragically limited output was for Bobby Digital, as represented in this package - with the addition of his biggest hit, "Hot This Year", from New York's Philip Smart. His topics were the usual ones of a ragga chatter - guns, girls and his prowess at the mike - to wich he brought good humour and a very likeable personality (even when cleaning his gun).
Spragga Benz - Jack It Up
Deejay's debuts are often their best albums - especially if packed with the hits that established them. This could easily be the case with Spragga's Jack It Up, which bring together the Stone Love 45 that brought him to wide attention ("Jump Up And Swear"), Dave Kelly's "Thing A Gwaan", Arrows "Jack It Up" and Winston Riley's "You Could A Deal", as well as hits from John John, Bobby Digital and Steelie & Clevie.
01. Spragga Benz - Could Ah Deal
02. Spragga Benz - You Go Girl feat. Wayne Wonder
03. Spragga Benz - Jack It Up

Chaka Demus - Everybody Loves The Chaka
The DJ was born John Taylor, in West Kingston, Jamaica, in 1965. Like virtually all of the island's talkative talents, he began his career as a teenager in the sound system scene, working for the Jammy's and Supreme systems. Initially he toasted under the name Nicodemus Jr., his tribute to the great '80s DJ Nicodemus. But by the time the DJ began recording in the mid-'80s, he had taken the more original moniker Chaka Demus. Demus cut his first singles for Jammy's, debuting with "Increase Your Knowledge in 1985. None of his early efforts were major hits, but all boded well for the future. His potential was quickly recognized by his bigger brethren, including Yellowman, who joined him for this album "Everybody Loves Chaka" on "Letter To Mummy & Daddy".

Ripe Cherry
Eric Donaldson's best-selling "Cherry Oh Baby", a Festival Song Competition winner in 1971, had been covered by both the Rolling Stones and UB40 when Bobby Digital showed how it could be updated for the digital age. This album btings Digital's successful singles together - including Cobra's remarkable "Tek Him".

Earlier records of this artist bring his name as Dracula and not Simpleton on the label "How you fi say dat".Simpleton released three reggae albums in the mid-1990s. After being virtually idle from the Jamaican music scene, Simpleton died from a heart attack on November 7, 2004 in Kingston, Jamaica.
