RETURN TO ORANGE STREET (VINYL)

From 1968 through to the mid 1970's the reggae beat began to slow down, some say due to the extreme heat hitting down onto Kingston Town and its surrounding enclaves, people needed something less strenuous to dance to, The Ska and Rocksteady Sounds that rocked Jamaica previously had now found a slower tempo and become more 'Dread' lyrically to suit the times, Reggae music has always moved within the social climate it found itself in and this set here, 'Return To Orange Street' was ROOTS REGGAE TIME, The Rastafarian message that runs through this collection, sometimes labelled 'Sufferers' music, is strong and works on many levels, It can come across on a heavy rhythm and vocal cut, Its example represented here by PRINCE JAZZBO's "Dread In A Earth" and I ROY's "Roots Man Time", The stellar line up of artists also include LEE PERRY & THE AGGROVATORS (the classic track "You Funny Boy") HORACE ANDY, CORNELL CAMPBELL (who has recently sung with RHYTHM & SOUND), DELROY WILSON, TWINKLE BROTHERS & more.
