2009 two CD set. The successor to Ska, Rocksteady dominated the Jamaican music charts for a brief but glorious two year period commencing around the summer of 1966. It's lazy, lilting rhythm provided the perfect backing for the island's most soulful acts to excel and this is reflected on this double disc collection which gathers together some of the most enduring recordings from the era. Performed by some of Jamaica's finest talents such as Alton Ellis, Desmond Dekker, Derrick Harriott and Delroy Wilson, this is the perfect introduction to the world of Rocksteady! Universal.
