Notes:
Jamaican reggae toaster King Horror - likely a former calypsonian by the name of Lord Davey reinventing himself for the UK reggae scene - returns with a 7" reissue of his dread pairing 'Dracula Prince Of Darkness' and the flip 'Ghost Hour'. Produced by cross-genre luminary Laurel Aitken, it captures the playful interplay between Horror's snarling vocal delivery and Aitken's ska-sanded production hand, where Aitken himself may even have stepped in for Davey when unavailable. In a pinched sprinkle of theatrical storytelling and tightened rhythms, blood is drawn from the neck on a feverish organ-ska-dub discovery, where Harker's journey to Transylvania is foreshadowed by terrific room reverb applied to Horror's voice, sinking his vocal teeth down to the depths of Davy Jones' locker.
