2.0 out of 5 stars No Rocksteady Here!, July 13, 2004

This review is from: I'm in a Dancing Mood (Audio CD)

I would have given this 2CD set 3 stars if i hadn't been expecting something else. Generally i'm very impressed with Proper's releases but this one was a major disappointment to me. I was lead to believe that there were a lot of Delroy's Rocksteady classics on this album, but that is not the case. Most, if not all of the recordings on these CD's are Bunny Lee produced recordings from the 70's. And the songs on here that are considered to be Delroy's classic Rocksteady recordings are 70's remakes of those songs, and not the Studio One originals from the late 60's.

Now mind you this is a pretty good collection of Delroy's material and there are some good tunes in here. However, i bought the CD thinking that it had a lot of the Studio One Rocksteady cuts on it and it doesn't. My disappointment with this set lies in my own expectations.

Buyer beware, look elsewhere for the truly classic Delroy Wilson cuts.

This review is from: I'm in a Dancing Mood (Audio CD)

I was disappointed in the tracks on the CD. " I'm In a dancing mood." I wanted to hear the original songs, not re-recordings. I Knew Delroy Wilson and he had a great voice. I don't know what happened after I left Jamaica in 1973. His voice deteriorated so drastically, that it pains me to listen to his later recordings. Spit in the sky, Lion of Judah, etc., were early recordings done at Studio One. I would like to see more original recordings of Delroy and other stars. On a scale of 1-5! Is there anything less than one?

Delroy Wilsons cd blew me away, the music on these two discs is the best ive ever heard. Rain from the sky is my favorite on the album. get it even if you have to kill someone for it.
