Prior to the advent of Rock Steady and Reggae, the irresistible sound of Ska dominated Jamaica's music landscape. At the forefront of the island's vibrant music scene throughout this time was the legendary producer and proprietor of the famed Treasure Isle liquor store, recording studio and label: Duke Reid.
Collected within the 'Treasure Isle Pieces Of Eight' box are faithful reproductions of eight of the Duke's most precious musical gems from the original Ska era of the mid-sixties. And with each of these 7" singles making their first official release outside Jamaica, this limited edition collection is one for musical connoisseurs to treasure.
Officially relased on June 11th, the set is availabel for pre-order from the Trojan shop, priced £49.99.
