When Nkrumah Jah Thomas hit No.1 on the Jamaican charts in 1976 with his debut single Midnight Rock on Alvin Ranglin's GG label, it gave the new DJ a theme song and an entry into the world of music. Within 3 years he had launched his own label, Midnight Rock, and alongside more music under his own name he produced a series of classics by the likes of Tristan Palmer, Anthony Johnson, Early B and many more. In 1997 he signed a deal with Acid Jazz's Roots label and through that ongoing collaboration, his career as a producer has been anthologized and developed. Last year, to celebrate 40 year of Midnight Rock, Thomas went back into his tape archive to unearth another 10 tracks. I Can Be Your Man - Linval Thompson, Good Thing Goin'on - Luciano, Hey Sexy Lady - Courtney Melody, I Love to Smoke - Gryphan, Sounds a Go Dead Tonight - Jah, Thomas ; Juniorvibes, All a the Gal Them - Pinchers ; Jose Wale, Me Glad She Gone - Super Cat, Drunk and Stage -Jah Thomas, Since I Laid Eyes on You - Daville, Love Songs Are Back Again (Adopted Song) - Tony Curtis Ghost; Mitch
