"Emotional Rescue and HMV Record Shop Japan team up to present Ernest Ranglin’s cover of The Dramatics' R&B classic 'In The Rain' for the first time ever as a single. A defining guitarist and composer in the development of Jamaican music, Ranglin’s career spanned mento to reggae, playing on the groundbreaking recording of 'My Boy Lollipop' itself, before going on to work with the likes of the Skatalites, Jimmy Cliff and Bob Marley. Moving to Florida in 1982, he teamed up with Noel Williams to mix the bass heavy sound the producer was famous for with Ranglin’s unique playing. Featuring a who’s who of the Miami scene including Bobby Caldwell, Timmy Thomas, Betty Wright and Williams himself, In The Rain continued the link between R&B and reggae to sweet perfection. To accompany, Nik Weston, DJ, promoter and owner of the respected Mukatsuku label, presents here an instrumental dub – letting the groove roll and Ranglin’s ubiquitous playing to shine." - Emotional Rescue
