Description
• Two seminal LPs new to CD.

• Featuring many tracks new to CD.

• Including numerous Ska and Rock Steady hits from the 1960s.

To commemorate Jamaica’s 60th year of independence, Doctor Bird present Derrick Morgan’s seminal long player, the title track of which became a national anthem for celebrating islanders in 1962.

Previously unavailable on CD, the LP has been expanded to include the remainder of the singer-songwriter’s early recordings for Leslie Kong’s revered Beverley’s Records, originally released between 1961 to 1963.

The second disc focuses on Derrick’s return to Beverley’s during the Rock Steady era, with the selection commencing with his hugely collectable ‘Best Of’ album, which first saw issue on Doctor Bird in 1969.

The LP is similarly enhanced here with the original track-listing bolstered by his finest Rock Steady and proto-Reggae recordings for the label.

Including numerous hits and tracks new to CD, this is the perfect way to pay tribute to Jamaica and one of its greatest foundation artists.
