Tracks list

The immediate successor to ska, the soulful, melodic sound of rock steady first
developed during the long hot Jamaican summer of 1966 and reigned supreme
thereafter for two glorious years before finally being superseded by the more
energetic style of reggae. Despite its relatively brief period as the island's
national sound, the rhythms of many of its biggest hits have continued to
influence and inspire music-makers to the present day, resulting in renewed
interest in the sub-genre among record buyers in recent years. This superb 2xLP
vinyl collection features 24 of the most popular recordings of the rock steady
era, including the UK hits, '007', 'Train to Skaville' and 'It Miek' and The
Maytals' anthemic dance-filler, '54 46 That's My Number'.
