"Compiled and annotated
by comedian/DJ/TV presenter and Jamaican music fan, Mark Lamarr, this collection
features a number of rare and unreleased early Duke Reid-produced recordings
from 1962 that were recently unearthed in the Trojan vaults. The quality
of the tracks, both in terms of sound and performance, are second to none
and illustrate why Reid proved such a popular and enduring figure on the
Jamaican music scene. This is definitely one for fans and the curious alike."
