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


     "Lynn Tait? He's the man who changed Jamaican music right round from
     Ska to rock steady." (Derrick Morgan speaks with Harry Hawke)

     "It was a pleasure to get up and get an idea and put your idea onto
     a record -- and to have the public like what you do is a great gift.
     At the time we were not thinking of it from a business aspect. We
     were just interested in creating beautiful music." (Lynn Tait speaks
     with Harry Hawke)

     This is an improvement on the two recent rock steady albums from
     Pressure Sounds, both of which --arguably of course -- lacked a
     certain distinctiveness of character.

     This album is going to prove worthy to rock steady completists,
     collecting as it does rare tunes from the 'Doctor Bird' and 'Big
     Shot' labels.

     It will also prove of interest to 70's reggae listeners in that it
     collects early works from an array of talents, all of whom would go
     on to be major roots stars, promoters, engineers and producers in
     their own right later on in the 70's.

     It showcases Duke Reid, Clancy Eccles, Stranger Cole and Derek
     Harriot productions -- but it also showcases very early Sonia
     Pottinger, Leslie Kong, Glen Brown, Eric Donaldson, Joe Gibbs,
     Viceroys and Joe Higgs tunes. Prepare then, to hear very early
     styles from these artists which may surprise you.

     So in a sense, what we have here is a "roots of what was latterly to
     be called roots" selection, -- and it proves interesting in that
     capacity.

     It is not all worthy from start to finish -- some of the tunes are
     eminently unmemorable, verging on schmaltzy, lounge bar styles.
     There is however a selection of nearly 60 songs on this 2bl CD set
     -- with a fair number of powerful, fairly essential compositions
     amongst them.

     The opening track is a brooding stormer, in a classic Don Drummond
     style -- "Storm Warning". It's an ideal metaphorical title, with
     it's thunderous thug bass tones and dark introspective horns solos.

     Also of interest is the hard, booming bass roots soul funk of "Soul
     Food" featuring an eccentric chant from Lee Perry himself. It sounds
     like an old Blue Note groove from the mid 70's, fusing jazz with
     soul and funk.

     On CD 2, Hopeton Lewis offers up the hooligan tones of "Cool
     Collie", a tune featuring the same brash and confident swagger of
     Delroy Wilson's / Alimantado's later composition "Can't Conquer
     Natty Dreadlocks."

     Joe Higgs contributes his distinctive mournful vocal style with the
     rare "You Hurt My Soul" whilst Eric Donaldson contributes the
     falsetto tones of the equally scarce "Right On Time."

     On a final note, it must be said the sleeve design is a work of
     charm, (in a Jeb Loy Nichols style) with iconography which will
     prove immediately recognisable to older listeners who spent long
     afternoons rooting around 50's and 60's retro stores in Ladbroke
     Grove, London, in the late 70's, hunting for tunes like this.
