Big Youth - Dread Locks DreadOriginally released on KLIK Records, in 1975, Dread Locks Dread became one of the new Front Line labels first key releases when reissued in 1978. One of reggaes best and most recognizable toasters, Big Youth broke new ground as a DJ in the early 70s with a flowing, chant like cadence that was equal parts melodic and invigorating, applying his infectious vocal approach to heavy social and political lyrics. A huge favourite of the punk and new wave
