Crucial Vinyl: Dr Alimantado

The Don selects Best Dressed Chicken in Town by Dr Alimantado as his Crucial Vinyl, an album that has shaped his musical taste.

Each week Don selects a piece of Crucial Vinyl (an album that has shaped his musical taste and helped make him who he is). He features three tracks from it and explains why it means so much to him.

This week he picks Best Dressed Chicken in Town released by Dr Alimantado in 1978.

Don says, "One from the 'golden age' of reggae. It was really a collection of 'tado's self-produced singles engineered by the likes of Scientist, King Tubby and Lee "Scratch' Perry' - no wonder it was loved by reggae fans and punk rockers alike.".
