Emotional Rescue and HMV Record Shop Japan proudly present Ernest Ranglin's single cover of The Dramatics' R&B classic 'In The Rain'. A key figure in Jamaican music, Ranglin's career stretched from mento to reggae. He played on the iconic 'My Boy Lollipop' and worked with legends like the Skatalites, Jimmy Cliff, and Bob Marley. In 1982, he moved to Florida and teamed up with Noel Williams, mixing Williams' bass - heavy sound with his unique playing. This 1983 rare reggae cover features Miami's top musicians like Bobby Caldwell, Timmy Thomas, Betty Wright, and Williams. It perfectly blends R&B and reggae. Nik Weston offers an instrumental dub to let Ranglin's playing shine. It comes as a black 7' vinyl pressing, released by Emotional Rescue in 2021.

To play this 7' vinyl, simply place it on your turntable, gently drop the needle onto the record's groove, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting fingerprints or dirt on the record, which can affect the sound quality. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. After each use, put the record back in its sleeve to protect it from scratches. If you notice any dust on the record, use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it before playing.
