Various Artists - Studio One Rocksteady: Volume 2: Rocksteady, Soul And Early Reggae At Studio One


This is another compilation of selected recordings from Studio One. The opener has a rather pristine groove, and it is called ''Sitting In The Park'' by Hortense Ellis. The track has a beautiful array of atmospheric vocals and in its delivery is itself a casket of gold. The other stunning track is ''Change Your Style'' by The Paragons. The lyrics of this track include the very spiritually veracious words of ''Hooligans, hooligans stop a while. Change your hooligan style. Don't fight your brothers you must use your head. Give a helping hand instead.'' It is filled with the stirring vocals of John Holt. The other stunner is from The Heptones with ''I Shall Be Released''. Of course though, how could one go past the classic by Delroy Wilson, ''Riding For A Fall''.
