Ska All Mighty
Various Artists
Another collection of original Ska
from Heartbeat. All tracks produced by Duke Reid from
his Treasure Isle label. Five tracks previously unreleased on CD
and 6 unreleased tracks. The usual high quality recordings, as we have
come to expect from Heartbeat, apart from "Koo Koo Ko"
by Stranger Cole with Owen and Leon Silvera, sounds like its been
dubbed from the record. Two well known hits are on the compilation starting
us off with "Don De Lion" by Don Drummond. Baba Brooks
Band with "Independence Ska" originally issued on Island records
in the summer of 1965. Lynn Taitt has been credited for his guitar
percussion according to the Soloists On The Songs list. Some very nice
Ska
tunes check out "Why Should I Worry" and "Red Gal Ring".
Notes by Chris Wilson which concentrate on the Jamaican Sound Systems.
