During the long, hot summer of 1966,
Jamaica's national sound underwent a dramatic transformation. The Ska rhythm
that had dominated the island's music scene since its independence in 1962
slowed significantly, so providing dancers with the opportunity to enjoy
themselves without suffering heat exhaustion.
Early in 1967, this new, more
measured style acquired a name of its own, Rock Steady, and for the next two
years, the style remained the prevailing sound in Jamaica, with many of the
most popular recordings in the genre released in the UK on Chris Blackwell's
famed Island Records imprint.
By the close of 1968, Rock Steady
had been supplanted by Reggae and Blackwell was involved with a new Jamaican
music company, Trojan Records, but before these momentous events, Island
was at the forefront of the sound in the UK, as reflected in the music on this
essential 40 track two disc collection.
As with other titles in the series,
'Island Presents Rock Steady' the very best in Jamaican sounds without
duplicating material featured on other titles in the range, so ensuring fans
are not only guaranteed top quality music, but also great value for money.
