"Place Too Dark is a reissue of the rare Barrington LP Doh Ray Me, issued as a self-production in Canada and the UK in 1980. It's an alternate set of vocals over the rhythms from the Bounty Hunter LP, basically recorded at the same time as his first three LPs, and just as good. The title cut is dare I say better than its companion on the same riddim, the immortal 'Shaolin Temple.' It's remarkable that Barrington basically made four LPs at once, and all were utterly classic, but he did. Place Too Dark was first issued in the late '90s, but was not widely available and went relatively unheralded, but it's much welcome back now. High quality UK pressing." On white vinyl.
