Various Artists | Greatest Jamaican Beat (LP)

Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing. Backing all the tracks on this LP are Tommy McCook and the Supersonics, the original Rock Steady Band. Tommy, on tenor sax, is one of Jamaica's greatest musicians, and his arrangements on this and other records, as well as his superb solo work, are evidence of this. Thanks to the artists, musicians, engineers and the producer, Duke Reid this is Rock Steady at it's best. Jamaica's most successful producer, manager and promoter is undoubtedly Duke Reid. Many may remember him as Duke Reid, The Trojan, with his famous (and for many successive years, top award winning) Trojan Sound System and his almost legendary Saturday evening Radio Programme 'Treasure Isle Time'. Duke Reid produced and promoted his first record in 1959, and since then has contributed to the success of a vast number of Jamaican artists.
