:.: Notes And Information About The Release :.:
';: ........................................... :;`
' `
Jamaican natives, the Cimarons migrated to Britain in 1967
with a lineup consisting of Franklyn Dunn (bass), Carl Levy
(keyboards), Locksley Gichie (guitar), and Maurice Ellis
(drums); vocalist, Winston Reid joined in London. They were
primarily session musicians in Jamaica, and backed many
artists, including Jimmy Cliff. Their first LP In Time, on
Trojan Records in 1974 featured a rendition of the O'Jays'
"Ship Ahoy" which the purists ridiculed as lush and phoney;
another track "Utopian Feeling" was labeled unrealistic, and
two pop standards: "Over The Rainbow," and "My Blue Heaven"
really tarnished their image. Vulcan Records released On The
Rock two years later, while more rootsy, it didn't set the
charts aflame either. They switched to Polydor Records
waxing Live At The Roundhouse in 1978 which displayed the
groups' harmonious sound without revealing their introverted
stage presence. Polydor released Maka the same year, it's
considered their utopia, and for the first time, they
produced and wrote everything. Cimarons' next three albums:
Freedom Street, Reggaebility, and On The Rock, Part 2 did
nothing to improve their status. After the final LP in 1983,
they didn't surface again until 1995 when Lagoon Records
released People Say, and Reggae Time, both compilations of
earlier albums; Culture Press dropped The Best Of The
Cimarons in 1999. ù Andrew Hamilton
Maybe this sounds bad.....but on the other hand this album
is featured on the top 250 roots reggae list.

It's not THE best album out there but certainly enjoyable.
I really like track 10.
Give it a listen!
