Original Ragga Muffin (1975-77) by Jah Stitch, released in 1996 on Blood and Fire.

Review by Nathan Bush

With the great King Tubby dubbing legendary producer Bunny Lee, and the results crowned by the deejay stylings of Jah Stitch himself, Original Ragga Muffin: 1975-1977 works on multiple levels. You are able to marvel at any one element (Lee's rugged rhythms, Tubby's fantastic versions, Stitch's vocals) or simply bask in the glory of the overall product. Though initially pegged as an imitator of the great Big Youth..Stitch clearly has his own style. Maintaining more of an even keel than Youth, Stitch works his themes through repetitive chanting, punctuating phrases with "Huh!" shouts that demand your attention. On "African People (3 in 1)," he presents a three-part acronym breakdown of the words "Africa," "Zion," and "Ethiopia" to wonderful effect...
