▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Notes And Comments About The Release ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
While not nearly as well-known outside of Jamaica as the Wailers
or the Maytals, the Gaylads merit similar consideration among reggae's greatest
vocal groups ù with radiant, sophisticated three-part harmonies ideally matched
to the rise of the down-tempo rocksteady rhythm, their records boast a beauty
and angelic fragility unique in the reggae canon, and their choice of both
material and producers was impeccable. Over the Rainbow's End compiles a
generous 26 cuts from the trio's 1968-1971 heyday, the best of which
- "ABC Rocksteady" and the title cut among them - were recorded not with the
legendary Coxsone Dodd or Leslie Kong but with the lesser-known Sonia Pottinger,
who perfectly couched the Gaylads' vocals in soft, supple arrangements most
evocative of classic doo wop. Although the quality trails off following the exit
of co-founder Winston Delano Stewart, there's not a truly disappointing moment
here, and the first half-dozen or so tracks rank among the most glorious in all
of reggae.
