Barrington Levy Magnets
Main Tag:
Description: Barrington Levy is a living legend in the reggae and dancehall scene. Known in Jamaica as “the mellow canary” Barrington Levy’s remarkable mellifluous voice has made him a hit maker in both reggae and dancehall. Barrington Levy says, the early 1980s Prison Oval Rock was actually a dub plate for Volcano system, run by the late Henry 'Junjo' Lawes. The sound system was booked for a dance at the oval, very close to the then Spanish Town District Prison (now St Catherine Adult Correctional Centre), and ahead of the event. The name 'Prison Oval' is attributed to it being on the same property as the maximum security Saint Catherine Prison.
