Various - Gay Jamaica Independence Time LP
SKU: MOVLP2612Description:
Having dominated the rock steady era, Arthur ‘Duke’ Reid was
searching for a way to build upon his standing as one of Jamaica’s
premiere record producers following the arrival of the new reggae
sound towards the close of the Sixties. By releasing Gay Jamaica
Independence Time he proved that he still released high quality
tracks. Some of the most talented musicians from that period are
featured on this record, like U-Roy, The Ethiopians, Alton Ellis
and Tommy McCook. Duke Reid may have been late on the reggae scene
but his best material stands shoulder to shoulder with the classics
of the era and many of the tracks presented here reach that level
with ease. The disc closes with the Jamaican National Anthem, as
this title was released to commemorate the eighth anniversary of
Jamaican independence.
Gay Jamaica Independence Time is available as a limited edition of
750 individually numbered copies on orange vinyl.
