Listen Up! - Rocksteady (LP Vinyl)

Rocksteady's brief window, roughly 1966 to 1968, gave Jamaica some of its most soulful and melodically rich recordings, bridging the frenetic energy of ska with the deeper rhythmic foundation that would become reggae. Kingston Sounds has long been a reliable steward of this era, and this collection pulls from a moment when Jamaican studio culture was at its most fertile, with vocalists and session players finding a new, slower groove that hit harder for all its restraint.
