*12 song compilation LP

A long overdue return to the Chopper label, which DKR first issued some singles from way back in 2010. This 12 song LP corrals all our favorites from the label that we haven't previously issued. The album features a mix of early '80s style live rhythms laid at Channel 1 and some great classical late '80s digital style. Lionel Barrett was the original and perhaps the core artist of the Chopper stable, and is featured heavily here. A few of his tracks as well as a couple others here are now issued on vinyl for the first time. The remaining are retrieved from long out of press albums and singles. The jacket features a survey of all of Chopper's excellent graphic design. All told this LP is a great overview of a prolific JA->NYC connected label from dancehall's best era.
