Various - If I Had A Pair Of Wings: Jamaican Doo Wop Vol. 2 LP
SKU: DEATH028
Description:
The second volume of Jamaican doo wop & R&B records taken
from the late 50s and early 60s. These records represent a period
in which soundsystems were just starting to dominate the island,
with Duke Reid and Sir Coxsone stepping up their rivalry by
beginning to make and release their own records rather than rely on
US imports for use in their dances.
Many of these records are definitely more-or-less imitations of the
American records, as the uniquely Jamaican ska sound was yet to
take hold - however many of the future stars of ska, rocksteady and
reggae were beginning to cut their teeth in the industry on these
records, incl. Prince Buster, Derrick Harriott and more, and
provide a unique view into the fledgling independent record
industry culture in Jamaica that would prove to be unbelievably
prolific and unparalleled for an island of it's size.
This
compilation was issued on cassette in 2019 and now finally
also available on vinyl.
