About this product
First comprehensive anthology of the early productions of Jamaican legend, Duke Reid. Includes 20 tracks new to CD. Features some of the most popular and influential Jamaican recordings of the early 1960s. The influence of Duke Reid upon the development of the Jamaican music industry can never be overstated. During the 1950s, he dominated the island's sound system scene, initially specialising with rare R&B imports from the US before turning to local talent to create 'exclusives' for his powerful sound. These early productions proved so popular that many were subsequently officially released as 7Inch singles, primarily on the distinctive 'Duke Reid's' record tag in Jamaica, and Melodisc's famed 'Blue Beat' subsidiary in the UK. Yet despite the popularity and influence of Reid's early works, a serious anthology of his recorded output from this period has until now remained unavailable. This collection finally makes up for lost time with almost the entirety of his released work from this time collected across three discs, combining major Jamaican hits, performed by some of the island's leading foundation artists, with almost forgotten rarities from one-hit wonders. And, as an added bonus, numerous rare alternate takes that have remained in the vaults since the dawn of the 1960s are also included. As a stand-alone or a companion to previous Doctor Bird and Trojan Duke Reid collections, this essential 3CD set not only provides a fascinating musical insight into the origins of Jamaica's national sound, but also provides the opportunity to hear some of the finest mento, shuffle blues and proto-ska sounds of the period Album Tracks 1. Penny Reel - Lord Power 2. I'm Going Home - Chuck & Dobby 3. Lollipop Girl - the Jiving Juniors 4. Duke's Cookies - Rico Rodriguez 5. Tell Me (Pretty Baby) - Chuck & Dobby 6.

Duke Reid International Disco Series (The Complete Collection During the late-'70s dancehall boom, the late-'60s/early-'70s productions of Duke Reid were all the rage again.

Disco Reggae Rockers features wicked reggae disco versions of funk, soul and disco classics! This new album follows on from Soul Jazz Records' earlier highly successful 'Hustle Disco Reggae' and features reggae covers of classic songs by Earth, Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson, The Isley Brothers, Candi Staton, Curtis Mayfield and more as performed by Derrick Harriott, Devon Russell, Hortense Ellis, Glen Adams, Dave Barker and others. The lineages of American soul and disco music on the one hand and Jamaican reggae on the other are so intertwined that it's unsurprising that disco reggae - or reggae disco if you prefer - is such a winning and straightforward combination. American and Jamaican music has been influencing each other back and forth for many decades, and is one reason that the music of Diana Ross, Curtis Mayfield, the Isley Brothers and numerous other US soul artists is so widely appreciated in Jamaica. // The most-straightforward definition of 'Disco Reggae' is to describe it as American disco and soul songs covered by reggae artists. But the relationship is binary - this is no mere subservient island appreciation of North American dominant culture but instead an example of the interweaving thread of Jamaican and American music that travels back and forth between the major cities of Kingston, London, Toronto, New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. // Having said that all of the songs featured here are indeed cover versions of (or at least heavily based on) US soul and disco tunes. Curtis Mayfield, Diana Ross, Earth, Wind & Fire, Archie Bell, The Dramatics, Michael Jackson - the work of these artists resonated around the world and Jamaica was no exception. // Comes as a double CD edition with booklet.CD11.
