Freddie McGregor's Showcase (1981), produced by roots reggae icon Winston ""Niney"" Holness, is a product of the era's vocal-and-dub ""showcase"" format and a key release from one of Jamaica's most iconic voices. Featuring dub-forward production and a seamless blend of Lovers Rock and conscious roots material, the album bridges the sound of 1970s Kingston with the more melodic direction that would carry McGregor into international success with 'Big Ship' the following year. This is the first official reissue in four decades and an essential record of McGregor's early solo era. Limited edition numbered pressings on heavyweight marble green vinyl, exclusive for RSD26."
