The Maytones - Creation Time LP
SKU: JART123305
Description:
After a brief period as a trio, The Maytones became a duo
of lead singer Vern Buckley and backing vocalist Gladstone 'Son'
Grant. The pair were neighbors in May Pen, a rural market town, a
background that deeply influenced their vocal style.In
1968 the group recorded a handful of singles, all
self-produced by Buckley, credited to his name alone, and released
mostly by the VB pre label. None was succesful, and Ranglin decided
to step in as their manager and producer.
In 1968, Ranglin relaunched the GG's label, and with it The
Maytones. The new-look duo debuted with 'Billy Goat', which proved
popular, but it was 'Loving Reggae' that gave them their first hit
that same year. Buckley excelled at taking simple sentiments,
cultural or romantic, and distilling them down to their lyrical
essence, relying on his emotional honesty to give his words
resonance. And it did. The duo's simple low/high harmony style may
have been unsophisticated but equally resonated with Jamaican
audiances.
This LP compiles various 12" mixes recorded between 1976-1978
at Channel One & Joe Gibbs studio's. Backing tracks were laid
by the G.G. All Stars and The Revolutionaries. 'Africa We Want To
Go' was only issued as a 7''-release, but this LP
includes another stronger take of the song with horns. 'Money
Worries' was issued as a 12'' but including I-Roy as DJ.
Instead of a DJ you can now enjoy of a wicked dub-version of the
track which was never used as a 12''-release. All tracks have
been remastered from the original analogue master tapes. The LP
comes in a gatefold cover and includes very extensive liner notes
and pictures. Enjoy!
