专辑介绍

by David Jeffries

Shanachie's One in a Million is actually a reissue of the 1982 Greensleeves 10& Operation Eradication, which itself was a compilation of early Yellowman singles. Confusing history aside, it's a fantastic set and includes many songs that still play a part in Yellowman's shows. &Them a Mad Over Me& turned out to be his anthem and &Shorties& was such a famous slack song it caused Peter Tosh to denounce Yellowman and his dirty talking imitators. Using the Itals' &In a Dis Ya Time& rhythm, &Operation Eradication& has an infectious hook, some fantastic vocal sparring with the late Fat Head, and remains Yellowman's greatest political observation. &Morning Ride& and &Couchie& have been fan favorites for years, and the remaining tracks would be considered highlights on Yellowman's lesser albums. The only disappointments are the 30-minute running time and Shanachie's softening of the album's title for mass appeal. Yellowman's career would suffer the same softening, but One in a Million (or whatever you want to call it) is stupendous.
