Description:
UK import!
Over 40 tracks!
This is the second collection to bring together many of the
visionary producer Clement ‘Sir Coxsone’ Dodd’s early recordings
made with Jamaica’s most exciting young artists and musicians who
helped define the world of reggae music over the decades following
Jamaican Independence. These recordings were made when Sir
Coxsone ruled the dancehalls of Kingston in the late 1950s and
early 1960s with his number one Downbeat Sound System, where songs
were tested out on dub plates at a dance to see a crowd’s reaction
- the most popular of which were then released commercially.
Featuring early material by Roland Alphonso, Don Drummond, Tommy
McCook (all of whom would form The Skatalites), Toots and The
Maytals, young singers such as Bob Marley and The Wailers, Delroy
Wilson, Owen Gray all captured in their formative days.
The music here spans a wealth of styles – Jamaican rhythm and
blues, jazz, gospel, proto-ska, Rastafarian – all of which were
drawn upon to create the future sounds of Jamaican reggae that Sir
Coxsone and the artists featured would soon create at Studio One
which opened its doors in 1963.
This collection is released as double CD with slipcase. Sleevenotes
and text is by the author Noel Hawks.
