Alton Ellis - Treasure Isle 1966-1968 LP
SKU: KSLP079
Description:
UK import!
Alton Ellis is one of the finest soulful voices to come out of
Jamaica. As well as writing hit singles himself he could make
a cover version known as a foreign tune sound like a Jamaican
reggae tune with the greatest of ease.
As the more upbeat rhythms of the earlier `Ska’ period began to
slow down around the turn of 1966 some say due to the extreme
heatwave that hit the island of Jamaica that year, slower
rhythms suited the people
to groove to at the various sound systems and dances. This also
allowed the singers to express themselves more and allow the
song to shine through. No one did this better than Alton
Ellis.
It’s this fantastic period Rocksteady 1966-1968 that we
feature on this release. This set carries all the big hits ‘Ain’t
That Loving You, ‘Girl I’ve Got A Date’, ‘Cry Tuff’ alongside
many more classics. All cut at Treasure Isle songs that really
defined the era.
