Muggers in the Street' was released in 1984, and features Junior Murvin in a proto-dancehall mode. The backing band Roots Radics provide bouncy rhythms and Murvin's buoyant vocals are in fine form. Junior Murvin's falsetto became the voice of late '70s social unrest in Jamaica and England, influencing not only reggae artists, but also punk rockers like the Clash.
