03/21/2023 You'll want some if your taste in reggae is so deep in the crates that you actually listen to organ instrumentals a gogo, you little mod revivalist. If you think that reggae came to an end in 1970 (when it was no longer spelled 'reggay') and/or genuflect at the mention of Ranny Bop or Glen Adams, then this could actually be the perfect record for you. But wait, if those things are true, you're probably also a 45 collector, so maybe you'll find yourself both wanting some and not wanting some. Producer Bunny Lee (and others) had a vibe with these uptempo instrumentals in the late 60s, which frequently featured members of what would become the Wailers Band (Aston & Carlton Barrett) and other now celebrated players of instrument, but let's get real, this music is wildly obscure. The closest thing to an enduring cultural moment from this era was Dave & Ansel Collins' "Double Barrel," and that wasn't produced by Bunny Lee. Roland Alphonso, Tommy McCook, Lester Sterling and their ska alumni association are usually beyond criticism, and on these sometimes whimsical alternates of better known reggae vocal versions (Pat Kelly, Uniques, etc), I find no real exceptions.
