Day to Day Living : Don Carlos

"Day to Day Living" was originally released on LP back in 1982.  This was kind of the second heavy wave of Don Carlos music to be produced.  The late seventies serves as the first wave with hit releases like : "Time is the Master" & "Prison Oval Clash".  The CD I've got was released from Greensleeves in 2001, during the massive reissuing movement of seventies roots reggae on to CD format. There are 10 tracks on the CD, just like the original release including a couple of nice tracks : #3 (Dice Cup), #8 (400 Years), and #9 (I'm Not Crazy).  The production was handled by a solid crew, with Junjo Lawes as producer, Scientist as the engineer, and the Roots Radics band pumping out the instrumental tracks.  Recorded and mixed at Channel One, this is another solid piece of Jamaican reggae.  Oddly enough, some of Don Carlos' best releases have been combination albums, like : "Firehouse Clash with Junior Reid" and "The Mighty Diamonds Meets Don Carlos & Gold - At The Channel One Studio".
