Keith Poppin - Pop Inn - CD Album

Includes comprehensive sleeve notes.

In 1975 Phil Pratt first recording session with Keith Poppin at Channel One on Maxfield Avenue generated a spare, hypnotic re-working of ‘Bad Mind Grudgeful’ retitled ‘Envious’. The seven inch single, “caused a sensation here and in Britain”, was a Number One record in Jamaica and a big hit on the UK reggae market too. The acclaimed ‘Envious’ album followed. Keith Poppin continued to work with Phil Pratt on releases such as ‘Who Are You’, another big hit, and two years later, recorded his second album for Phil Pratt ‘Pop Inn’.

This classic collection, also created with a stellar line up of musicians at Channel One, was released in the UK only on the Burning Sounds subsidiary label Burning Rockers and consolidated Keith’s reputation as one of Jamaica’s foremost vocalists with his soulful and melodic voice. This re-issue of ‘Pop Inn’ is back on its original Burning Rockers label, released on 180-gram vinyl.
