Rocksteady Taking Over Orange Street

ReggaeDub Rocksteady took over Orange Street Kingston Jamaica around 1966 the same time that an extreme heat wave hit the Jamaican Island Some say the previous jerky Ska Rhythms proved too strenuous of an activity to partake in during the all night Sound Systems So it proved a winning formula to slow the beat down to a more leisurely pace Whatever the reasons were this two year period that ran until 1968 would see some of the power escape from the big three producers Clement 'Coxonne 'Dodd Prince Buster and Duke Reidwho up to that period ruled the airwaves It was time to make room for a new wave of up and coming producers that also had something to offer the people So sit back and enjoy some Rocksteady straight from the dances of JamaicaLP 14 tracksCD 16 Tracks
