This 7″ vinyl release on the Silver Kamel label, issued in 2004, features Anthony Johnson on the A-side with “Swinging Medley,” backed by “Swinging Session” on the B-side.
The record is built on the “Under African Beat” rhythm, a driving foundation typical of classic Jamaican sound system productions. Anthony Johnson delivers a fluid vocal performance, blending melodic phrasing with rhythmic delivery in a style closely linked to the rub-a-dub era.
The B-side presents the instrumental version, allowing the rhythm section to take the spotlight and making it suitable for selectors and DJs.
Anthony Johnson is a Jamaican singer known for his work from the late 1970s onward, including the well-known track “Gunman,” and for his contributions to both roots reggae and early dancehall styles.
