A deadly rocksteady version of the ska tune they’d already cut for Duke Reid.
Dapper 1967 rocksteady, previously unreleased. Eddie also recorded as a duo with Alton Ellis — Alton And Eddy.
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.
Unmistakable themes from the TV series soundtrack, in party-rocking style, with biff-boof organ.
Evergreen Dennis, with a brilliant Tommy McCook.
Killer deep ska, superbly led by Roland A. Backed with the Black Brothers’ rude boy anthem, Born To Rule.
Stalag excursion.
His first run-out on the rhythm he later cut for Chopper — another Digikiller reissue.
On a bubblers rework of Mudie’s Love Without Feeling.
Deadly, hip-hop-inflected, soundboy version of Skylarking. Nasty bass.
On a Jimmy London; with a Peter Tosh melodica version.
Perfectly irresistible, bumptious girl-pop from Judy Mowatt’s group.
The Tartans — Prince Lincoln, Cedric Myton, Devon Russell and Berg Lewis.
Sweet, uptempo rock steady from Henry Buckley, in 1968, with backing from The Gaylettes. A more rootsy, Biblical edge to the B-side, which was originally coupled with Roland Alphonso’s How Soon.
