High Priest Of Reggae

Add to Cart$20.99 ... LP (reissue)
List Price: 25.98
LP (Item 497193) Pama/Get Back (Italy), 1970 -- Condition: New Copy

Pure West Indian ex-pat delights Laurel Atken on the Pressure Drop imprint! Like the previous releases on te label, this set showcases Laurel Aitken, reissuing his excellent 1970 effort for the Pama label, and then loading the set down with a mountain of equally great bonus material! The original issue of High Priest Of Reggae caught Aitken transitioning from the Rocksteady scene he dominated so well to the newer reggae vibe of the era, and as the title indicates, taking command of the new sound quite well! A collection of great singles issued on the Nu Beat and Pama labels. 12 tracks in all: include "Jesse James", "Mr Popcorn", "I Got To Have Your Love", "Shoo Be Shoo Be", and "Save The Last Dance".  © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
