It's probably a Tubby production.

Rumours is definitely the right style! I'm going to check out more Isaacs/Clarke stuff.

through a slow amassing of various Trojan boxsets and other reggae compilations, I suddenly realised the other day that I had a lot of this guy's stuff...and that I love it.
Sad that he died so young, he was such a wonderful talent.

Can anyone recommend a good introduction to mid-80s digital era Isaacs? I heard a song on the radio yesterday and I want to hear it again!

I always assumed that I didn't need much beyond the various tracks on Trojan comps and Mr Isaacs, but I just got two of his "later" albums for a song - Maximum Respect and Let Me Be The One - and I like them both a lot. Clearly these are 'grey market' comps and I have no idea about the origin of these tracks. Can anyone shed any light of these?

every gregory isaacs album i've heard is awesome but i feel like soon forward in particular should be way more well-known than it is

Just got back from 5 days in the Caribbean and we listened to nothing but Gregory Isaacs the entire time. Bliss.
