One of the best-loved reggae singers of all time, Slim Smith. Responsible for many perennial hits that have remained popular with fans since their recording in the late 1960s and early '70s, Slim Smith achieved a lasting influence that trumps the brevity of his vocation and the terribly tragic death that cut everything short. This retrospective includes tracks from Slim Smith & The Uniques period such as "Let Me Go Girl", "My Conversation", and "Girl Of My Dreams". These immortal gems and more are collected on the first record of this double-disc set, giving clear indication of the group's tightness and Smith's exceptional ability in the lead. The second disc collects plenty of examples of his solo career, beginning with a tasteful version of "Keep The Light", "Love Power", and "This Feeling". The rhythms of many of Slim's best-loved records have been recycled countless times over in subsequent decades, keeping his spirit very much within our contemporary musical landscape.

A reissue of Slim Smith's Just A Dream, originally released in 1972. "Slim Smith's high, plaintive vocals and his haunting, almost fragile delivery made him one of Jamaica's finest singers in the late 1960s and early '70s, both during his tenure with the Uniques and the Techniques and his subsequent solo career. The Bunny Lee-produced tracks collected here were originally released as an LP on Brad Osborne's New York-based Clocktower Records in 1972. . . . Osborne was famous for subtly remixing material he received from Jamaican producers, and that is probably the case here, although the star in any Smith mix is always going to be that incredible voice, and these mixes are no exception. Smith shines on covers of Curtis Mayfield's 'Gypsy Woman,' Sam Cooke's 'Send Me Some' and Jimmy Cliff's 'Keep Walking,' and the whole set is quite haunting." --Steve Leggett, AllMusic

Slim Smith is high on the list of great singers that came out of Jamaica. Although Jamaica was bursting with musical talent, few could match his soulful and heartfelt style. Sadly, he had a very short career, but he produced a catalog of music that still stands the test of time -- like all the great artists, his story carries through the songs he left behind. Kingston Sounds have compiled some of his finest moments from his period working alongside the hit-maker from Jamaica, producer Bunny Lee. A great set of tunes that the label hopes will keep his memory alive. Includes four CD bonus tracks.
