'Treasure Isle Presents Rock Steady' is
the second of our new releases highlighting the works of the
legendary Duke Reid and features 40 of the most
influential, not to mention enjoyable recordings of the era that
dominated the Jamaican music scene from 1966 to 1968.
During this period, the Duke's Treasure Isle sound came
into its own, dominating the national scene with a plethora of
major works, performed by an array of talented vocal acts, backed
by clebrated hornsman, Tommy McCook and his Supersonics band.
The recordings on this collection are widely recorded as being
among the finest of the period - quite simply, Jamaican music could
never sound this soulful ever again.
