Disc: 1. 1. Best Dressed Chicken In Town. 2. Just The Other Day. 3. Poison Flour. Huge portions of this album feature Dr. Alimantado stoned out of his gourd, rambling into the microphone in his monotone voice. Some of the lyrics or toastings or whatever they are called, are downright stupid. Just really dumb strings of nonsense words. Virtually no thought went into the words in the songs. The backing music is uninspired and flat. Dr. Alimantado has no range in his voice, basically he is not a singer. He is talks through the album, like a stoned uncle telling you off. This is basically an OK album, it's not absolutely horrible. 2 people found this helpful.

Dr Alimantado - Best Dressed Chicken In Town. MOJO SAYS: Toasting reaches dizzying heights with this punk-loved clutch of the Doctor’s early singles. 16. culture - two sevens clash live. MOJO SAYS: An epochal title track, and an extraordinary LP as the vocal trio combine with massive orchestration to create a mood of portentous dread. 15. Burning Spear - Marcus Garvey. Lee Perry and King Tubby collaborate on pioneering dub album with extraordinary split-stereo mixes that collides to make a brand new sound. 6. Toots & The Maytals - Funky Kingston. MOJO SAYS: The rough, rustic and churchy Maytals of the ska era are updated into a raucous rock stew that's impossible not to move to. 5. The Congos - Heart Of The Congos.

One-of-a-kind Jamaican DJ Dr. Alimantado found unexpected fame with . punks after Johnny Rotten bestowed his blessings. The hoopla was certainly warranted based on the high quality of his mid-'70s sides, several of which are included on Best Dressed Chicken in Town. Other highlights include the bubbly "Unitone Skank," as well as the album's two instrumentals: a predictably bizarre and brilliant Scratch mix, "I Am the Greatest Says Muhammed Ali," and the Duke Reid homage "Tribute to Duke" (based on Slim Smith's incredible rendition of the Billy Stewart soul gem "Sitting in the Park").

This album presented the Garveyite view of the world in a beautifully arranged, exquisitely played, thoughtfully mixed package that is immensely satisfying from it’s opening bar to final fade out. It made the Rasta lifestyle appealing in a way no other album had done before, and introduced a new generation to the philosophy of Marcus Garvey. You have two choices: the original version with one less track and a mix some fans see as more authentic, or the UK version, with an extra tune and a slightly faster tempo. Genius at work, but few noticed until the British punks spotted it. They were right. Hear: ‘Best Dressed Chicken In Town’. The Prophets (Yabby You): Conquering Lion (1975) You’ve had plenty of opportunity to pick this up on vinyl, it’s been reissued many times. The question is, are you ready for it?
