Let's Do Rock Steady (The Soul of Jamaica)
Description
The immediate successor to Ska, the melodic and soulful sound of Rock Steady first developed during the long, hot Jamaican summer of 1966 and reigned supreme for two glorious years before eventually being supplanted by the more energetic style of Reggae. Despite its relatively brief period as the island's national sound, the rhythms of many of its biggest hits have continued to influence and inspire music makers right up to the present day, leading to a resurgence of interest in the sub-genre amongst record buyers in recent years. This superb 2LP vinyl collection features 24 of the most popular recordings from the Rock Steady era, including the UK hits "007", "Train To Skaville" and "It Miek", along with The Maytals' dancehall anthem, "54 46 That's My Number". Pressed on high quality vinyl and presented in a stylish sleeve, the album not only provides an ideal introduction to this immensely popular and influential sound, but is also a must-have for confirmed fans of the Jamaican sub-genre, with numerous titles appearing on vinyl for the first time in decades.Buy Let's Do Rock Steady (The Soul of Jamaica) at the best price
