Originally released in 2009. The mighty U Roy is the originator, the man who put the DJ phenomenon on the map and made it an artform. U Roy moved into the recording arena firstly cutting two discs for producer Lee Perry: Earths Rightful Ruler and OK Corral, and then following this with Dynamic Fashion Way and Riot for producer Keith Hudson. Producer Duke Reid, seeing the potential in this new found form, brought U Roy to his Treasure Isle Studios to voice over his back catalog of rocksteady hits. His first three releases for Duke Reid Wake the Town, Rule the Nation and Wear You to the Ball held the top three positions for 12 weeks in early 1970s. Here, Kingston Sounds have compiled some of U Roys best-loved cuts from his mid-70s period, when all were still looking at him for guidance. The opening cut Call on Me sees him working over Delroy Wilsons Got to Be There. You Never Get Away gets U Roy answering Delroy Wilsons Keep on Rocking. Johnny Clarkes Time Gonna Tell with a roots-y bass line turns into Every Knee Shall Bow. A fine collection of the Daddy of all DJs, who said, I Originate, so you must appreciate, while the others got to imitate. That says it all, really. Tracklist: 01. U-Roy - Call On Me (03:08) 02.
