VARIOUS – Some-A-Holla Some-A-Bawl – Sounds From Kingston Jamaica – LP – Vinyl

LP – Limited Edition Black Vinyl.

The new cut 45s would be taken to the shops after a testing on various Sound Systems around the people and passed to the record shop proprietors to sell. Bunny Lee as a former record plugger and now a leading producer knew what the people wanted and a great ear for a hit tune.

This collection carries some of the stand out tracks from this period, when music was finding a new beat as Rocksteady rolled into the late 60s early 70s Reggae Sound. All stories of daily life and love songs told over a cracking rhythm played by finest musicians on the island.

So yes Some A Holla Some A Bawl as Max Romeo would say but it cant be denied that all the tunes on this selection are of a fine pedigree.
