Linval Thompson, in collaboration with Roberto Sánchez from A-Lone Productions and Baco Records, has put out the compilation set “Thompson Sound All-Stars: Linval Thompson & Friends Vol. 1”, featuring 12 tracks that demonstrate what a good and interesting producer the veteran singer was during the golden age of reggae (late ’70s/early ’80s). This selection truly highlights the importance of Linval Thompson as a producer and shows why he was one of the strongest rivals of the highly influential Henry ‘Junjo’ Lawes, the most successful Jamaican record producer in the early 1980s, with whom he had first ventured into production in 1978.
