Includes liner by Digitally remastered by Toby Mountain (Northeastern Digital, Southborough, Massachusetts). The rocksteady era was a magical time in the history of reggae music.
The jazzy, galloping ska backbeat was ceding place to a slower, more elastic groove, and singing styles were mellowing out as well; the vinegary trio harmonies of groups like the Wailers and the Ethiopians gradually gave way to the smoother, more soul-influenced sounds of the Techniques and the Melodians.
The music of this period was, paradoxically, both more spiritual and more sensual than the music that came before, without the ganja-infused mysticism that would come to dominate the music later on. This collection, yet another in a long and fruitful string of collaborations between the American Heartbeat label and Duke Reid's Treasure Isle, brings together 18 gems from the period, including classic tracks by John Holt ("I See Your Face"), Justin Hinds ("Time Pass By"), and Phyllis Dillon ("Take My Heart"), as well as a couple of less noteworthy efforts (such as the Sensations' mediocre "Baby Love").
Overall, this is an excellent overview of a sometimes-neglected chapter in reggae history. ~ Rick Anderson Techniques/John Holt/Sensation Dennis Alcapone/Jamaicans/Vict Chris Wilson. Producer: Duke Reid.

Rudies All Round - Rude Boy Records 1966-1977
Rudies All Round is packed with 20 rocksteady hits that all revolve around the rude boys themselves.
This is rocksteady at its most exquisite, featuring duos, solo artists accompanied by their sublime backing bands, and classic vocal groups like the Pioneers, the Rulers, the Tartans, and the Clarendonians.
Beyond the slow, smooth rhythms and phenomenal vocals, the album also illustrates the island's mixed feelings about its young bad boys. Joe White's title track celebrates their arrival, as does the Pioneers' "Rudies Are the Greatest" and Desmond Dekker's "Rude Boy Train." The Rulers, in contrast, sweetly protest "Don't Be a Rude Boy," while the rudies inspire fear in the Overtakers, who warn "Beware."
As rude boy mayhem reached epic proportions, groups began to comment on the violence sweeping Jamaica, such as the Clarendonians' "Rudie Bam Bam," the Valentines' "Blam Blam Fever," and Winston & George's "Denham Town." Then, as events began to spin out of control, artists released songs meant to help calm the situation: "Cool Off Rudie," "Stop the Violence," and "Drop the Ratchet" among them.
But it was too late, resulting in "Soldiers Take Over," the institution of a "Curfew," and a situation far from "Copasetic," as the Rio Grandes, Bobby Aitken, and the Rulers sonorously explained.
The set's last two tracks are given over to the Judge Dread saga. Lee Perry's "Set Them Free" is an eloquent defense of these miscreant youths. Derrick Morgan's "Judge Dread in Court" was the artist's final salvo in the soap opera, a hilarious song wherein he jails the judge. However, entertaining as it is, it seems a bit out of place here. Regardless, there's no better compilation of the era than this.

Sonia Pottinger Ska & Rock Steady- Put On Your Best Dress (EXPANDED EDITION ) 2019
Taking as its base from the Attack Records’ 1990 compilation Put On Your Best Dress, this new collection spotlights the best of Sonia Pottinger’s recordings 1966-67… LTW’s Ian Canty gets down to the other sound of the Summer Of Love.
Doctor Bird have put out a few compilations of Sonia Pottinger’s work over the past few years (Read about ABC Rocksteady here, Gay Feet here and Dancing Down Orange Street here). Now we have Put On Your Best Dress which looks back at some of her early recordings of Ska and Rocksteady, plus a few oddities that don’t fit either category. Unlike these previous sets, this one in built around a relatively new album, a 1990 compilation of her work which was compiled by Reggae historian Steve Barrow and issued by the reactivated Attack label.
This collection focusses on the years 1966 and 1967, when Ska was still coming on strong, but the hot summer of 67 would mean the pace soon slowed down to the Rocksteady beat the following year. The earliest tracks featured here have Baba Brooks’ outfit, who functioned as the Pottinger house band, but soon Lyn Taitt’s Jets and the Fugitives would take over backing. All of these ensembles were eminently capable of providing the ideal musical landscape for singers or vocal groups to thrive.
As for the Put On Your Best Dress album itself, it is down to a mere 9 tracks here, but to be fair there isn’t really one that isn’t a gem. For example Guns Fever by the Valentines (who also feature with All In One, a sweet-voiced Ska nugget with great swishing cymbals) is a total anti-violence classing, playing off a low baleful voice against the sweet tones of the refrain. The theme is one returned to on disc two by the same band with their Stop The Violence song, part of an opening three song salvo with Stop Them by Hazel (Wright) and the Jolly Boys (not sure this is the same Jolly Boys of Mento legend – nothing in the sleeve notes and my other research points to them being different bands) and another “don’t be a Rude Boy” standard Drop The Ratchet by Stranger Cole.
Talking of whom, Pottinger was able to develop her stars and struck lucky with a winning combination of Stranger and Patsy Todd, who feature heavily on this collection. They were both great solo artists, but pairing them together was dynamite and led to some of the most enjoyable tracks here. In tandem they score on Put On…. with Tell It To Me, Stranger’s raw voice the perfect foil to Patsy’s soulful drive. Their Down The Train Line has an intro which utilises primitive Dub techniques and nifty percussion and a smooth organ drift provides the background for another fun and catchy duet Give Me The Right.
Patsy on her own also features on the original LP with Pata Pata Rocksteady, which has a touch of Nyahbinghi drumming steering it away from more standard Rocksteady fare. Give Love A Try finds her riding a Ska rhythm effectively and A Man Is Two-Faced is a cool bit of R&B which neatly cuts macho elements down to size. Patsy could certainly hold her own on a Soul tune as well as producing winning Rocksteady cuts like You Took My Love.
Back to the album itself, The Conquerors’ What A Agony is a fine example of Bluesy Rocksteady and Eric “Monty” Morris provides a Doo Wop influenced vocal on an eerie, drifting rhythm on the title track. He also has success matching a jerky feel to the slow and tender Play It Cool. The Conquerors feature again with a speedy, well-sung goodie Listen To Me Baby in a Ska mode and team up admirably with Stranger Cole on the Jazz/Mento/R&B crossover of Oh Ye Mahee.
One of the things I’ve found pleasing reviewing Sonia’s stuff in the past is the fact that she encouraged a bit of variety. She didn’t abandon everything else to chase the next big thing. She would cut discs of Mento, Calypso and Count Ossie’s Nyahbinghi drums, alongside the more fashion beats. While there’s more than enough Rocksteady and Ska beauts here to keep anyone happy, the variety does help to give a fuller picture of what was going on it Jamaica during 66/67. One delight for me was the Dingle Brothers’ (nothing to do with Emmerdale!) This is Thunder, a repeated vocal line over a near Folk Rock guitar jangle, with Mento stylings and fiery horn section constructed by Baba Brooks’ band. A real mixture and a real treat too.
Also one shouldn’t downplay the popularity of Calypso in Jamaica at the time – though it wasn’t cutting edge during the mid 60s, it still had many fans. It represented here by Ring Ding 67 by Count Lasher, a typically busy tune that celebrated the island’s independence and Al & The Vibrators’ Move Up Calypso (also versioned by Count Ossie as Move Up Nyah Bongo). The Webber Sisters impressed me on one of the other Sonia Pottinger comps and here they do so again in the Soul setting on Stars Above. Makes me wonder why they didn’t make more of a mark – they had the voices and invention, plus the solid backing provided by the Gay Feet players.
It would be remiss of me not to mention the raft of Stranger and Gladdy (Anderson, keyboardist with Lyn Taitt’s Jets and Roots Radics among others) sterling duets, with We Shall Overcome (no not that one) and the stop-start of Chances being my favourites. Put On Your Best Dress differs from a lot of the Doctor Bird reissues in that it mostly features vocal cuts, with only a few instrumental tunes. Powerful horns give Musical Pressure by Al And The Vibrators vital momentum and the Fugitives step out of the backing shadows on Seven Heaven, really showing their Jazz chops. The collection finishes with Christmas Time Again by Rueben Anderson, unseasonal I know in June! But the vibes put one in a pleasingly nostalgic mood, bringing a fine selection to a warm end.
Put On Your Best Dress proves again what and underrated producer Sonia Pottinger was. She had an open mind to recording different styles and was less concerned with following the prevailing trends than most. Her productions were not full of studio tricks or massive innovations, but just concentrated on getting the best performances out of her singers and players. It was a strategy that meant she was on fire during the Ska and Rocksteady eras, as is skilfully displayed here.
Digitally remastered and expanded edition. Between the summers of 1966 and '68, the sound of rock steady dominated Jamaica's musical landscape, and throughout this time few producers proved more successful or influential than the island's premiere female music maker, Sonia Pottinger. In recognition of her achievements, Trojan Records gathered a number of her best-known tracks in the style on Put On Your Best Dress, a popular long player released by the company on it's Attack subsidiary in 1990. Now, almost 30 years later, the LP has been expanded to include the very best of Ms. Pottinger's output from the early rock steady period, thus creating a superb stand-alone collection of high quality Jamaican sounds. Including a multitude of Jamaican hits plus over a dozen tracks new to CD, this superb compilation has been stunningly repackaged with brand new stylish artwork, ensuring it now looks as good as it sounds.

The Uniques: Absolutely ThE Uniques, Expanded Edition 2018
In 1967, when the lilting rhythms of rock steady ruled Jamaica’s airwaves, the island boasted an array of popular vocal trios and quartets, such as The Maytals, The Heptones, The Pioneers, The Ethiopians, and a group who over a period spanning less than two years, recorded some of the most popular and enduring music ever to see issue in Jamaica: The Uniques.
Comprising Keith ‘Slim’ Smith, Lloyd ‘Charmers’ Tyrell and Martin ‘Jimmy’ Riley, The Uniques enjoyed a run of hits on Jamaica’s national charts, initially recording with celebrated producer, Bunny Lee, before launching their own Tramp label with the assistance of local businessman, Winston Lowe.
At the close of 1968, the best of their Tramp recordings to date were gathered on the long player, “Absolutely”, but within months of its issue, the trio had disbanded with its three members all going on to achieve substantial solo success on the Jamaican music scene.
Now, almost 50 years after its original issue, this ultra-rare album is at long last re-presented here, with its 12 tracks augmented by the remainder of the group’s hugely sought-after Tramp recordings.

Derrick Harriott -Rocksteady- 1966-1969
Superb collection of Derrick
Harriott / Crystal productions from the late sixties, most, if not all
previously reissued on 7" vinyl by Japan's Dub Store. Harriott, dapper
in his "Beatle" suit on the cover, began as a singer with the Jiving
Juniors in the early sixties and expanded into production in the latter
half of the decade scoring local hits with such stone classics as Stop
That Train and Tonight with Keith & Tex, killer instrumentals such
as Step Softly by Bobby Ellis and Illya Kuryakin by Ike Bennett as well
as his own hits such as The Loser and Do I Worry, all here, alongside
collector's pieces like Junior Soul's (Murvin) Glendevon Special, and
Keith& Tex's proto roots Run To The Rocks. Harriott's productions
were always clean, musical and among the best of their time.

Lyn Taitt & The Jets - Anthology 65 -73
Hold Me Tight 1965 - '73
La gran evidencia en la influencia de Taitt sobre la industria musical en Jamaica a mediados de
los 60s y a principios de los 70s
Hagamos Rocksteady ' set, que es un escaparate virtual
de la mejor de su trabajo de la sesión, con la casi totalidad de las
grabaciones con su guitarra inconfundible jugando. Esta compilación ofrece un
acompañamiento perfecto para que la liberación, con el disco uno se centra lo
mejor de su obra instrumental y el disco dos destacando algunos de los mejores
de su trabajo con varios cantantes principales de la Isla.
Evidence of
Taitt's influence on Jamaica's recording industry throughout the sixties is
reflected in the music on the previously issued 'Let's Do Rocksteady' set,
which is a virtual showcase of the best of his session work, with almost all of
the recordings featuring his unmistakable guitar playing. This compilation
provides a perfect accompaniment to that release, with disc one focusing on the
best of his instrumental work and disc two highlighting some of the best of his
work with many of Kingston's leading vocal acts - not to mention Johnny Nash!
