When dancehall DJ General Echo decided singing sexually overloaded tunes was the
way to pay the bills, he damaged his career significantly. Until the release of
the Equalizer labels Echo collection, Teacher Fe di Class, you were much more
likely to stumble across a copy of his supremely naughty album 12 of Pleasure --
featuring titles like Lorna She Love Young Boy Banana and the great Thats How
You Get Your Love Bump -- or come upon the true to its title Slackest LP which
he recorded under the name Ranking Slackness. You also might have also
discovered the Tribute to General Echo single from Clint Eastwood & General
Saint and wonder how the late (Echo was shot dead by the police in Kingston
Town) sleaze master could be so revered. Teacher Fe di Class is not without
sensuality, but it also re-introduces General Echo the seriously gifted and
socially motivated toaster that influenced everyone from Yellowman to Beenie
Man. It does so by blowing up his 1979 album Rocking and Swing and making it
wonderfully deluxe with versions and dubs added to the program plus wonderful
liner notes to top it all off. From the easy and innocent Titanic to the
cautionary tale of Self Praise and on to the feel good shuffle of Hot Reggae
Music, Echo never fails, delivering his lines with the bounce and bravado that
would later define the dancehall DJ. Sound quality is better than expected and
the pictures of rare labels and album artwork that fill the booklet are the kind
of stuff reggae fanatics drool over. Kudos to the Equalizer label for making
Echos greatest moment readily available and in such a fine package.
