Digital Digs

Good fortune blessed me recently with access to a collection of 80's dancehall. I was able to grab some hard-to-find records over the course of a day of looking.

Two sought-after tunes are featured above, by the one White Mice and Burro Banton. I can't think of two voices in reggae much more different from one another than these two, White Mice lives in the vocal register of the small rodent he is named after, and Burro has a cavernous rockstone voice. See Beth Lesser's excellent recent book of photos from Jamaica in the 80's for some pictures of White Mice.
