About this product
Two CD set. Four albums unavailable for over 50 years. First ever anthology to showcase Creole's productions. In the mid-1960s, Bruce White and Tony Cousins established the artist management company, Commercial Entertainments, which by the close of the decade had amongst it's clients many of Jamaica's leading talent. When, late in 1969, reggae exploded onto the international music scene, the enterprising pair acquired the defunct music publishing company and a record company, Creole Music Ltd., and promptly set about acquiring a suitable artist roster. The first act to sign up to the newly formed organisation were the instrumental quartet The Hippy Boys, who, at the close of 1969 were in the UK with Lee Perry, touring as The Upsetters. On New Year's Day, 1970, White and Cousins had them record an album's worth of material, which they subsequently licensed to the country's leading Jamaican music record company, Trojan. Released as 'The Good, The Bad & The Upsetters', the LP proved a strong seller, with it's success encouraging the pair to arrange further sessions for their other newly acquired acts, with the best of these sides collected on 'Reggae Steady Go Vol. 1' issued by Trojan that summer. Bruce White and Tony Cousins continued to collaborate with Trojan throughout the next year, but in the spring of 1972, were finally able to launch their own reggae showcase tag, Rhino. And with just the second on the imprint, Creole secured it's first major UK hit, 'Mad About You' by Bruce Ruffin, the success of which propelled the company to the centre of Britain's thriving Jamaican music industry. There swiftly followed further popular singles, the most popular of which were assembled on two new 'Reggae Steady Go' volumes. All of the above long-players, along with the best of Creole Records' productions between 1970 and 1972 are gathered on this, the very first anthology of

Two CDs. First ever reissue of 2 iconic Trojan albums. Numerous tracks new to CD. Includes some of the biggest reggae hits from the early 1970s. Originally released by Trojan Records in 1972, the 'Reggae Reggae (Vol. Two)' LP is perhaps best-known by record buyers for it's iconic sleeve, depicting a group of young suedeheads set against the very un-tropical backdrop of Brixton railway arches. But the collection offered considerably more than simply a striking cover, for the music within the grooves of the record that lay within ranks alongside the finest reggae of the period. Comprising a dozen tracks produced by the increasingly influential Alvin 'G. G. ' Ranglin, the album is a mixture of superior vocal, DJ and instrumental tracks, performed by some of the most talented and popular Jamaican artists of the day, notably Dennis Brown, The Ethiopians, Dennis Alcapone and The Maytones. The following year, Trojan issued a second, equally fine, yet similarly obliquely packaged collection of the producer's work, 'Pipeline', and it is these two essential long-players that provide the primary focus of this essential 2CD . Unavailable on any since their original , both LPs are bolstered here by the very best of Ranglin's remaining productions from 1971 - 72, their number including hits and long-lost obscurities from period, many unavailable since the early 1970s. The second in a series of 2CD sets highlighting the output of one of the Jamaican music's most successful, yet under-appreciated producers, it is a must-have buy for all self- respecting connoisseurs of high-quality classic reggae sounds. Album Tracks 1. Gold Mine - the G.G. All Stars 2. Israel Want to Be Free - the Ethiopians 3. President in School - Cat Campbell 4. Wha' No Dead - the Maytones 5. Walking Stick - Phillip Samuels 6. Milk and Honey - Dennis Alcapone 7. Keep on Knocking - Billy Dyce
