RELEASE DATE

LP version. Orange Street, Kingston, Jamaica: the epi-center of the reggae world. Where all the record shops, studios, pressing plants were based. The new cut 45s would be taken to the shops after a testing on various sound systems and passed to the record shop proprietors to sell.
Bunny Lee
as a former record plugger and now a leading producer knew what the people wanted and he had a great ear for a hit tune.
Some-A-Holla Some-A-Bawl
collects some of the stand out tracks from this period, when music was finding a new beat as rocksteady rolled into the late-60s early-70s reggae sound.
The Ravers
' "Mati And Fulli" telling the story that the "Rent Too High" to the
Twinkle Brothers
' "Miss Laba Laba" -- you see and blind you must hear and deaf -- clean up your own backyard before talking about others. All stories of daily life and love songs told over a cracking rhythm played by finest musicians on the island. So yes "Some-A-Holla Some-A-Bawl" as
Max Romeo
would say but it can't be denied that all the tunes on this selection are of a fine pedigree. Features The Ravers,
