Factory sealed brand spanking new

Best Dressed Chicken in Town is the debut album by Jamaican deejay Dr. Alimantado. It was first released in 1978, and collects many of his self-produced singles from 1972 to 1978 , employing the engineering talents of Lee "Scratch" Perry, King Tubby, and Scientist. The dub-inflected tracks and Alimantado's idiosyncratic musings prove a potent combo, especially on standouts like "Poison Flower" (a version of a Horace Andy vocal), the Rasta vengeance number "I Killed the Barber," and the comical title cut.
