CAMPBELL,CORNELL - Boxing (Sealed) (LP)

What we have here is one of Cornell Campbell’s great Dancehall early 80’s set of songs. Dancehall was when the beat slowed down to that classic one drop style that suited his voice so well. The album includes the title track Boxing which was a massive hit for Cornell on its initial release in 1982. It also includes a Dancehall reworking of Queen of the Minstrel and a fantastic dancehall cut to Bob Marley’s Natty Dread. This was a new chapter in Reggae’s sound that saw the rhythm slowed down and seemed to add even more emphasis to the songs meaning.
