Dave and Ansel Collins - Double Barrel LP
SKU: MOVLP2845Description:
Jamaican reggae duo Dave Barker and Ansel Collins recorded and
released their reggae debut album Double Barrel in 1971.
The single “Double Barrel” topped the UK and Jamaican charts and
the follow-up “Monkey Spanner” also enjoyed international
success. The anthem was Trojan Record's very first No.1
single. “Double Barrel” was sampled by hip hop artist Special Ed
and two of Dave Barker's introductory exclamations (“Don't watch
that, watch this!” from “Funky Funky Reggae” and “This is the
heavy, heavy monster sound!” from “Monkey Spanner”) were quoted by
vocalist Chas Smash, in the introduction to the Madness single,
“One Step Beyond”. All of the songs on the album were written and
produced by Jamaican heavyweight Winston Riley and it was the first
record that legendary drummer and percussionist Sly Dunbar played
on. Shortly after the Double Barrel release Dave and Ansel
split-up.
