Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by the legendary Lee 'Scratch' Perry, this instrumental collection served as a massive breakthrough for Jamaican music in the UK, scoring a massive Top 10 hit with the title track. The recording captures the vital, infectious transition from rocksteady into the heavier, bass-driven early reggae rhythms that would soon dominate the decade. It established Perry's studio band as a formidable, groove-heavy unit on the international stage.
