VA - Treasure Isle presents Rock Steady - 2CD 2012

'Treasure Isle Presents Rock Steady' is the second of our new releases highlighting the works of the legendary Duke Reid and features 40 of the most influential, not to mention enjoyable recordings of the era that dominated the Jamaican music scene from 1966 to 1968.

During this period, the Duke's Treasure Isle sound came into its own, dominating the national scene with a plethora of major works, performed by an array of talented vocal acts, backed by clebrated hornsman, Tommy McCook and his Supersonics band.

The recordings on this collection are widely recorded as being among the finest of the period - quite simply, Jamaican music could never sound this soulful ever again. (trojanrecords.com)
