Comments and Reviews


RogerFoster 26th Jan 2016		Review People who want an introduction to the evolution of Jamaican music through the 1960s and early 1970s can do no better than look here. I'm no expert on the subject but the notes do seem to properly explain the progression from "Ska" (a musical style heavily influenced by New Orleans R&B) in the early 1960s through the less frenetic and more "Soul" inspired "Rocksteady" music of 1966-1968, the edgier "Reggae" sound of 1969 and 1970, the development of "Toasting" (a Jamaican fore-runner of "Rap") and the move towards Rastafarian themes after 1970. According to the notes all of the tracks on here were major hits in Jamaica so these are among the tunes that would have been heard by the Reggae Stars of later years, and the notes are certainly worth reading as they give a great historical background to the tracks on this collection. Some tracks are surprisingly lightweight (Ken Boothe's "Lady with the Starlight" seems to be a take on "Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days Of Summer"), others are thinly disguised Soul tunes (The Techniques "You Don't Care" will be familiar to Impressions fans as "You'll Want Me Back"), some are ruff-tuff tunes (Junior Byles "Beat Down Babylon" being a good example), others, such as "Bonanza Ska" are pure novelty. Incidentally, the Pioneers track at 02:04 is "Long Shot", their 1968 song about the racehorse of the same name, which is definitely NOT to be confused with their international hit they later recorded after the horse died in the middle of a race. Funnily the tracklisting on the inner cover for CD 2 does exactly that!! 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
