Recording

Saturday Night Style opens African Anthem, produced and arranged by Michael “Mikey Dread” Campbell in 1979. The album credits sessions at Channel One, Joe Gibbs, Treasure Isle and King Tubby’s studios in Kingston. The track introduced an album that brought the sound effects and presentation of Dread’s Jamaican radio broadcasts into a studio recording. Its tape-speed manipulation has received detailed academic analysis, documenting the recording’s use of studio technology as a compositional tool.
