Various - If I Had A Pair Of Wings: Jamaican Doo Wop Vol. 1 LP
SKU: DEATH025
Description:
This collection of Jamaican doo wop from the late 1950s through to
the early 1960s represents a period in which sound systems had
begun to dominate the island, and were starting to step up their
rivalry by beginning to record and release their own platters
rather than rely on imported records to gain the competitive
edge.
With the uniquely Jamaican ska explosion yet to completely catch
hold, these tracks are largely imitative of the doo wop and R&B
sound that had been reaching the island from American shores &
radiowaves, albeit peppered with hints of what was to come ~ some
of the future stars of ska, rocksteady and reggae are starting to
cut their teeth on these tracks, providing a great view into the
fledgling record industry on the island.
This compilation was issued on cassette in 2018 and now finally
also available on vinyl.
