First in the series to be announced are The Skatalites and The Maytals, both of which are OUT NOW.
Led by the dynamic Frederick ‘Toots’ Hibbert, The Maytals are highly regarded as one of the greatest singing trios in the history of Jamaican music, scoring hit after hit on the island’s charts during an incredible career spanning six decades. The new collection brings together the very best of their work, including their rock steady and early recordings for Leslie Kong’s revered Beverley’s Records during the late Sixties and early Seventies; a period that spawned ground-breaking work such as ’54 46 Was My Number’, ‘Monkey Man’ and ‘Do the Reggay’, to name but a few. It also includes numerous classics such as ‘Sweet And Dandy’, ‘Pressure Drop’ and ‘Night And Day’, demonstrating just why the unforgettable music of The Maytals will continue to be loved for many years to come
The Essential Artist Collection series will continue throughout 2023 with more legendary artists announced in due course.
