VA - Oh Carolina! The Jamaican Chart Hits Of 1961 [2013] | Butterboy

 And secondly from Butterboy compilations there is this extraordinary collection of early music from Jamaica!

Not what I expected at all to be fair and Jamaica seems to keep doing this from the early sound system clashes playing records of early American R ’n’ B like Bop, Be Bop and Jump we looked at a while ago. Now comes this and check it out for unique roots on labels Coxsone Dodd and Duke Reid, Buster and Kalypso with the roots of reggae, ska and rocksteady . . . ‘Oh Carolina!’ indeed! From Laurel Aitken to Derrick Morgan, Clancy Eccles to Cecil Lloyd and another session in Part Two with Don Drummond to Buster’s All Stars Derrick and Patsy to Byron Lee and The Dragonaires. Enjoy!
