Gregory Isaacs - Cool Ruler Returns! 1984-1986



Simply in memory of one of the greatest Reggae singers of all time, I&I would like to present a compilation of Mr. Isaacs' best in his underdog years. This compilation focuses mainly after his two successful albums on Island Records Night Nurse (1982) & Out Deh! (1983).

I&I was reading a biography one day about Gregory, and it seems like his discography history was correct, however it seems like they have forgotten about the releases from 1984-1986 (with exceptions of the popular 1985 release, Private Beach Party). No mention of releases of Easy (1984), All I Have Is Love, Love, Love (1986), or even a true Reggae fans favorite release with the Prince of Reggae, Dennis Brown, Judge Not (1984). Well TH3MO3M3NT is here to help jog memories of those who forgotten (or maybe never heard) the up-full rydims like "A, Miner", the seductive lyrics like "Don't Say No", the upbeat tempo off tracks such as "When I Needed a Friend" with the help with some of your favorites off of the 1985 release Private Beach Party.

Cool Ruler Returns is the perfect compilation for that Gregory Isaacs fan who would like to advance out of his Island Record releases, to later yet still classical releases. The majority of these albums were never re-released on CD, making it even harder for younger fans to obtain knowledge of these releases. Some were released on CD, however, were not released in major numbers of quantity therefore making them very rare and pricey. This compilation is here to help prevent these releases from getting swept under the rug by any means necessary.  Enjoy. JAH Bless.
