Description
ul liORIGINAL ALBUM UNISSUED ON ANY FORMAT SINCE 1970li liFEATURES EIGHT TRACKS NEW TO CDli liONE OF THE RAREST JAMAICAN MUSIC LPS EVER ISSUED! li ul In the early weeks of 1970 the Melodians joined the still small and select band of Jamaican acts to achieve international success when their lilting Sweet Sensation made the British Top 50. brbr The vocal trio comprising Brent Dowe Trevor McNaughton and Tony Brevett had been a major force on their native islands music scene since the dawn of the rock steady era and continued to achieve significant success well into the mid-Seventies. brbr But it was their work with Kingston-based producer Leslie Kong that yielded their greatest successes with the aforementioned hit among a series of reggae chartbusters which included the immensely popular Rivers Of Babylon. brbr Famously reworked by Euro-pop band Boney M some years later the song proved so popular for the Melodians back in 70 that Kong issued an entire album of the groups work soon after their single hit the local charts. brbr Unissued outside of Jamaica this now ridiculously rare LP is finally made available to the world at large almost 50 years after its original release. brbr Comprising numerous tracks new to CD this long overdue set demonstrates why the trio are today widely regarded as one of the finest vocal acts in the history of Jamaican music.
