5.0 out of 5 stars The Best RockSteady CD's to date;, July 22, 2009

By	MikeNYC "MikeNYC" (NYC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Let's Do Rocksteady: The Story of Rocksteady 1966 - 68 (MP3 Download)

These 2 CD's have the highest percentage of really popular favorites from my boyhood days. (Many songs called Reggae are actually RockSteady music)
Thank you Lynn Taitt, for slowing down the Ska beat in 1964.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rocksteady All-Stars!, January 9, 2007

By	Andrew H. Eldridge "Rude Boy 5456" (Tampa, Florida USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This volume is essential to any collection of Jamaican music.
From the illustrative liner notes to the gorgeous harmonies & arrangements. I have heard no better example of the Rocksteady period of indiginous Jamaican pop music.
