rhythmdog 31st May 2022		This series is actual CD's, not CDR's. Likely not actually from Kingston, Jamaica, as asserted on the CD's. However, the concept is Jamaican. These US R&B cuts were what the Sound System men of the mid-50's brought back from their trips to New Orleans and other Southern US locales to play at outdoor dances in Kingston in the mid-50's. As such, they are the very source for "Jamaican R&B" and later Ska, because in the late 50's, as this style of music dried up in the US, the impressarios of Jamaica turned to local talent to replicate the sound no longer available in the US (that the US R&B sound dried up in 1959 with the "Payola Scandal" should make it clear that the major labels were struggling to compete with the smaller R&B labels but were capable of using their clout to sic the law on their competitors - not because they were more "moral" but because they had better lawyers! - and much worse music!!!)
