Gregory Isaacs: Night Nurse (Island)
Penny Reel, NME, 4 September 1982
IT'S SINGULAR how Gregory Isaac releases a better number of tunes as good as 'Night Nurse' over the past decade and longer, and as good a number of better, yet never achieves the merit Single of the Week, nor usually so much as a review of any kind, until his debut for Island Records, but we'll let that pass for now.
