This was his first album and it has become a quite unique classic in its own right. Very spirited music if you remember these were dancehall days and a kind of 'ON-U-Sound'ish touch to the production. Personally I love every song on it, especially 'Bank Robbery' and 'Gun Happy Police' for some more reasons than one.
One of the best albums recorded outside Jamaica from the early 1980s.
Later productions got him in a Lovers Style which I don't check for that much but the album by Jah Shaka is another spiritual experience and very worth enjoying.

It has a nice dub companion in Jah Shaka's 'Commandments of Dub Chapter 7'
