My favorite riddim off that album, \"Sweet Reggae Music,\" gets the Scientist treatment in fine style as Round 5. I guess popular opinion had Scientist knocking out Jammy because his next album is the solo \"Heavyweight Dub Champion.\" In an ironic twist of fate, Jammy would have the last laugh a few years later. While he went on to massive success in the mid-eighties with his Jammy's label and production squad, Scientist dwindled into oblivion with the coming of the digital age (set off by Jammy!). Supposedly he just wasn't feeling it. \u003c\/span\u003eThis special 2016 reissue includes a bonus disc including all the original \u003cstrong\u003eBarrington Levy\u003c\/strong\u003e vocal versions with completely remastered sound and huge foldout poster.
