[Pete S]

Hope you enjoy this one, dominated by the Studio One sound especially The Heptones, but full of classic 60's rocksteady and a couple of very early reggae tunes too.

Really enjoyed that Pete. My favourite Reggae style. Who does the "Pretty Looks" track that you haven't listed?

Really liking those Heptones sides.

Really liking those Heptones sides.

Oh yes mate, so consistent, singer Leroy Sibbles not only wrote most of them, he also plays the bass on most of them (and hundreds of other Studio One sides of the time), absolute top quality stuff.
