Sublime vocal harmony roots. Pure Abyssinians manners.
George Wright and the boys cut one of our favourite Lovers a few years later… Secret Admirer.
Killer.

The Treasure Isle masterwork… plus a sweetly rocking Tommy McCook.

Don’t miss the rocking steady Bacharach & David on the flip.

Terrific, heavyweight, nyabinghi roots from 1975, with Spear’s Swell Headed somewhere at the back of its mind.
Produced by Junior Smith, founding member of The Itals; also Elias Stewart; both from Savanna-la-Mar.
An outstanding revive. It’s a must.

The fledgling Wailing Souls, rocking steady but broken-hearted in 1966; backed with the perfect ska antidote, a previously-unreleased Hopeton Lewis pick-me-up.

Winston Matthews, Lloyd McDonald and George Haye — Wailing Souls to be. From 1966, this is classic vocal rocksteady, one of the certified gems in the Merritone catalogue. Backed with unreleased ska.

Winston Jarrett fronting a characteristically rugged, deep-funk Family Man rhythm.
