5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential for those who like sweet harmony rock steady,
By Niel Wright (nielyons@aol.com (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Swing and Dine (Audio CD)
The Melodians were a leading group during the rock steady era (about 1965-8), specializing in love songs delivered with sweet harmonies. This compilation was put together with much love and care by Heartbeat Records' irreplacable Chris Wilson, who arranged for digital remastering from the original master tapes. Those who used to collect the original Jamaican 45s will be pleased with the improved sound. The selection is A-1. Definitely the Soul of Jamaica.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Swing and Dine (Audio CD)
This collection nicely encompasses most of the Melodians' best tracks, allowing the trio to showcase nicelt their signature harmonies and vocal stylings.For all the great tracks it offers, like "Swing and Dine," "Little Nut Tree," and "You Don't Need Me," there are several crucial tracks missing from this compilation that would make it the perfect compilation. Included in those missing are the great tracks "I Caught You," "Sweet Sensation," and the rasta based "Rivers of Babylon." For what it is missing, what the cd offers are first rate hits, and I agree with the other reviewer- it was carefully put together, and the re-mastering on it was wonderfully done. That alone is good reason to get this cd as a great starting point for this superb trio. |
