{"product_id":"late-night-movie","title":"Late Night Movie","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeminal dancehall album from 1982. Features some of the biggest Jamaican hits of the early 80s. 19 tracks new to CD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe close of the 1970s witnessed a dramatic change of both style and substance of reggae music, with the spiritual and political themes that had dominated the roots era throughout the preceding years supplanted by a dynamic new sound that primarily focused upon more down to earth issues. The new ‘dancehall’ sound was chiefly championed by raw, youthful music-makers whose recordings dominated the Jamaican musical landscape over the years that immediately followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the most successful of these ambitious newcomers was DJ \u003cstrong\u003eLui Lepke\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose moniker revived that originally used by a notorious 1930s New York gangster, reflected the brash new attitude of these aspirational young guns. Lepke’s musical breakthrough came in late 1979, when his debut single, \"\u003cem\u003eCan't Take Me Landlord\u003c\/em\u003e\", shot to the top of the Jamaican music charts, with this success swiftly followed by further big sellers, notably \"\u003cem\u003eLove Ina Jamdown\u003c\/em\u003e\", \"\u003cem\u003eMek You Lie To Me\u003c\/em\u003e\", \"\u003cem\u003eCustom Officer\u003c\/em\u003e\" and his 1981 smash, \"\u003cem\u003eLate Night Movie\u003c\/em\u003e\", which provided the title of his debut long-player, issued early the following year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn instant best-seller, the LP has remained unavailable on CD for 17 years with this expanded version also including the DJ’s 12” single tracks, which also feature fellow reggae royalty in \u003cstrong\u003eBarrington Levy\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eEek-A-Mouse\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCornel Campbell\u003c\/strong\u003e. In addition, the second disc on the set collects some of the biggest Joe Gibbs productions from the dancehall era, many of which feature on CD for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Doctor Bird","offers":[{"title":"CDx2.","offer_id":50426508411211,"sku":"2208121","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Screenshot_2024-06-28_at_17.09.44_0d1f189e_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1726811579","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/late-night-movie","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
