Forty years ago, in 1985, Wayne Smith, Noel Davey and King Jammy recorded and released a track that would change the world of music forever. Wayne Smith’s titanic “Under Me Sleng Teng” revolutionized reggae and ushered in the new digital age of dancehall.
The recording thrilled dancehalls in Jamaica and beyond, and went stratospheric when the riddim was played in a radio soundclash between David Rodigan and Barry Gordon, aka Barry G.
To mark the occasion, Greensleeves Records are bringing back the vibes with a new 7” vinyl with the original vocal and hard-hitting dub, complete with a fresh graphic sleeve and the proper Jammy’s label design.
