Description

"GAY JAMAICA INDEPENDENCE TIME" - Various Artists Collection from the 1960s. Treasure Isle Records (Jamaica) LP-101/9. A celebration of Jamaican independence in music, featuring its 'new' musical form, as outlined in the liner notes: "BOOM SHA-KA-LA is basically reggae, yet not...it involves jazzing up the basic beat with more orchestration than is usual in the regular reggae." In fact, it's still small group examples of late 1960s reggae with elements of toasting, lovers rock and what might be called roots reggae.

Track Listing: Side 1) Hopeton Lewis " Boom Sha-Ka-La" / Hugh Roy "Wake The Town" / Ethiopians "Condition Bad A Yard" / Earl Lindo "White Rum" and "Wear You To The Ball" Alton Ellis "Peeping In"

Track Listing: Side 2) Tennors "Hopeful Village" / High Roy "Rule The Nation" / McCook Dynamite" / Hugh Roy "Catty" /Alton Ellis "What Does It Take" / Neville HInds "Sunday Gravy" All Stars - Verse Of The National Anthem.

Note that Fats Domino is at the table with artists known as The Duke & The Dutchess in the cover shot - very unique! Also, 'What Does It Take?" is a straight, smooth reggae interpretation of the Jr. Walker & The All Stars hit on Motown.

Condition: the Jamaian pressing looked suspect at first glance (bad vinyl?) yet it plays VG+/NM- with only some light surface wear. The cover is VG++/NM-, with solid seams and vibrant colors, if not the best printing job in the world - also consistent with Jamaican pressings. Still this is one of the RAREST collections from the dawn of modern reggae.
