This set was recorded at Channel One with a small band, and the six original tracks alternate the artists. At this time the two were both relatively new artists (though both already had recording history), and they do both sound rather derivative. Hopeton’s singing style is very strongly influenced by Horace Andy – take a listen to Windshield Wiper, an excellent number about the youths who clean your car windscreen when you stop at the traffic lights, or even more so, Wah You Want, which also has fine percussion work by Skully.
Robert Ffrench’s numbers are (Jamaican) lover’s tunes, with the influence of Dennis Brown readily apparent on Can’t Finance You. The running time of the original LP has been extended with the addition of the just over seven minutes long On The Balcony (Brawta Mix) basically a medley of two of Hopeton Lewis’ preceding songs and two of Robert’s. It is nothing particularly special but does make for a fine finale to an album very much of its time – but that time did produce some fine music and this does merit that description.
