Barrington Levy & Jah Thomas - Tribute To Moa Anbessa / Nigger Kojak & Liza - Penitentiary (Nigger Kojak / Moa Anbessa)

This is a killer combination of Barrington Levy and Jah Thomas, produced by Floyed Anthony Perch (born 30th september 1959, Kingston JA) better known as Nigger Kojak, in 1980. He first started by the name of Pretty Boy Floyd doing stage shows in the Ghetto's (Waterhouse I suppose), but after cuttin' his hair his fans nicknamed him as Kojak and encouraged him to do recording, so he took the name of Nigger Kojak (source : back cover of Kojak & Liza Showcase LP).

No need to talk about Barrington Levy as I guess everybody know him, but Jah Thomas is less known than his partner of the cut, check this little bio/ itv made when Greensleeves released a 12" Rulers Compilation dedicated to his past productions...

I have added the Penitentiary cut as a bonus, it's on the same riddim
Produced by Nigger Kojak
Rhythm Laid at Channel One
Voiced & Mixed at King Tubby's
Engineer : Scientist
