Massive collection of diatonic delight, as the Doctor Bird release contains a mighty 26 tracks in all. The track that stands out really impressively is ''Hey Mama''. The other track that really stands out is ''Drink Milk''. Justin Hinds actually recorded seventy singles in two years between 1964 and 1966. His sound is a fusion of ska, reggae and rocksteady. Hinds' young cousin was actually Horace Andy. Sonia Pottinger produces 5 tracks and the rest are produced by Arthur ''Duke'' Reid who as well as being a producer and label owner, was a DJ and working from as early as 1953. Reid was known to his contemporaries as being quite the perfectionist. This album is a good insight into Reid's legacy as a legend of ska music production from the 60's.
