 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Notes And Comments About The Release ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀


     Veteran Jamaican crooner Roy Shirley gets a greatest hits going over
     thanks to West Side Records. Roy has always appealed to the older
     Jamaican audience with his plaintive songs of lost love and has never
     found real commercial success outside of the West Indian community.

     A founding member of the Uniques, along with the great Slim Smith,
     his vocal style has to compared to him - although slightly lower in
     register - and apart from some of his sizzling rocksteady sides, it
     would be hard to imagine him ever breaking in to a sweat so relaxed
     is his performance. Luckily, West Side have concentrated on his
     strong rocksteady work and present some of the formative tunes of the
     era such as 'Hold Them', 'Get On The Ball' and 'Music Field' which
     all gave Roy sizeable hits in Jamaica through out the late 60's.
     There's a handful of reggae sides following on the rocksteady style
     including his last sizeable seller 'A Sugar' in which he takes a
     swipe at Studio One boss Coxsone Dodd.

     His relocation to London in 1973 signalled the end to his hit making
     and although his sporadic live performances were said to be electric
     he's never managed to capture it on vinyl to this day.
