Known as a synonym for "killer", this is one of the best singles released on Studio 1 by Don Drummond, including another precious take that's been previously unreleased.
Compare to any other artists, the extreme tension that Don Drummond brings into his sessions were next level. His trombone skills were above genius and it is clear to hear his strong personality and humanity through his music. With his works being released on Studio One and other productions, he had established the "Far Eastern Sound" which still lives today in Jamaica. The fact that his music influenced others is a proof of how his art is universal.
It is interesting that all the unreleased Skatalites tracks from this era have different solo phrases each time, showing how valuable these recordings are for the archives.
Part of the "Dub Store Records presents Studio One" series, Chapter 1: Through the Caribbean Roots and Jazz, to Rocksteady 1957 -- 1969.
With the full respect to the memory of Sir Coxsone, this is the Ultimate Collector's Single Series for all Studio One Fans, recorded especially from the original master tapes owned by the 13 Brentford Road including some previously unreleased rare material.
Studio One is the top of the old record labels in Jamaica, which has its own history since 1950's. It was established by Sir Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd, who is reffered as the father of Reggae by people.
It is the most important legendary studio in Jamaica since artists and musicians like Bob Marley, Lee Perry, and Burning Spear have learned about music there and thereafter they walked their own ways.
Many Reggae artists and musicians say that Studio One is the Reggae university that is managed by Principal Sir Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd. It is also said that Studio One is the Motown of Reggae all over the world.
