In the 1990s, Birmingham singjay Pato Banton rode high on the UK charts with covers of “Baby Come Back” and “Groovin’” — but earlier in his career he recorded more interesting (though less commercially successful) original material, notably with the producer Mad Professor. Their first collaborative effort was Mad Professor Captures Pato Banton, and this one revisits the recordings from that album but offers them in extended mixes that include dub versions of the original songs. Banton’s singing and chatty are both witty and engaging, and the Professor’s production style is as wild and crazy as always.
