Within three years he had launched his Midnight Rock label and, alongside more music under\u003cbr\u003ehis own name, he produced a series of classics by the likes of Tristan Palmer, Anthony Johnson, Early B and many more.\u003cbr\u003e In 1997 he signed a deal with Acid Jazz’s Roots label and since then his career as a producer has been developed and anthologised; the release of a series of archive King Tubby and Scientist mixes, the use of his masters to be sampled by Nas (on ‘The Don’), Protoje and others, plus reissues of his classic albums.\u003cbr\u003e To celebrate 40 years of Midnight Rock, Thomas went back into his tape archive to unearth another 10 tracks, either with original vocals or guest names brought in.\u003cbr\u003e Behind original rhythms recorded at Channel 1, Tuff Gong and others, featuring the Roots Radics and The Midnight Rock Band and mixed in places like King Jammy’s and Tubby’s we are presented with a line-up of stellar talent - Linval Thompson with the plaintive ‘I Can Be Your Man’, the forthright Super Cat on ‘Me Glad She Gone’ and Luciano on the rare ‘Good Thing Goin’ On’.
