In the early 1960’s, when the Jamaican recording industry
was still very much in its infancy, the local music scene
was dominated by a mere handful of performers. Among
these musical pioneers was Derrick Morgan. A year after
the launch of the islands records label (1967), they released
the Derrick Morgan And His Friends LP, which has since
become a highly prized collector’s item. Recorded at
Jamaica’s premiere recording studio, WIRL, and featuring
the musicianship of leading session crews, the Carib Beats
and Lyn Taitt & the Jets, the quality of the tracks remains
consistently high. Morgan is one of Reggae’s real unsung
heroes and this compilation makes it all the more compelling.
Derrick Morgan And His Friends is available as a limited
edition of 750 individually numbered copies on orange vinyl. |
