1977 saw the release of "Visions", the first full length Dennis Brown album released by Joe Gibbs and a proper album rather than a collection of singles like its predecessor, the classic "Wolf & Leopards" set. It proved to be one of the singer's greatest and most compelling albums, and the one that helped establish his and producer Joe Gibbs' dominant position in late 1970s reggae.
Here the listener is treated to a thoughtful selection of material, Jamaica's leading session musicians (including Sly & Robbie, Lloyd Parks, Lennox Gordon, Eric Lamont, Franklyn Waul, Errol Nelson, Harold Butler, Sticky, Herman Marquis, Tommy McCook, Bobby Ellis, and Vin Gordon) on top form, the prowess of Errol Thompson at the controls and, last but not least, the amazingly assured vocal performances of a then barely twenty years old singer.
All in all an essential album from a great singer whose untimely death in 1999 shocked the reggae world.

Another reggae classic from another legendary Jamaican vocalist! ENJOY!
