Various - Rocksteady People JDI's Supreme 13 Hits CD
SKU: RSCD002
Description:
The first compilation of JDI material, a rare label treasured by
collectors from all four corners of the world. The label ran for
almost 3 years between 1965 to 1967 during the hot Ska and Rock
Steady period. JDI productions had a unique hi-fashion style,
different from the likes of Studio One and Prince Buster
productions.
The two JDI bands - The Diamonds and Los Caballeros were housed
residents at the Johnson’s Drive Inn premises owned by the man
himself Mr Copley Johnson with tip top singers like Lloyd Williams
and Roy Panton on vocal duties. When you listen to the JDI releases
, you can actually feel the vibes of the JDI night club at that
present time !
The JDI band members included a young Karl “cannonball” Bryan,
Sammy Ismay, Freddie Butler (brother of well know keyboardist
Leslie Butler) and Lloyd Delpratt. Mr Brian Keyo provides great
liner notes once again ! We hope you enjoy our new release .
