The Ska rhythm that had dominated the island's music scene since its independence in 1962 slowed significantly, so providing dancers with the opportunity to enjoy themselves without suffering heat exhaustion.
Early in 1967, this new, more measured style acquired a name of its own, Rock Steady, and for the next two years, the style remained the prevailing sound in Jamaica, with many of the most popular recordings in the genre released in the UK on Chris Blackwell's famed Island Records imprint.
By the close of 1968, Rock Steady had been supplanted by Reggae and Blackwell was involved with a new Jamaican music company, Trojan Records, but before these momentous events, Island was at the forefront of the sound in the UK, as reflected in the music on this essential 40 track two disc collection.
As with other titles in the series, 'Island Presents Rock Steady' the very best in Jamaican sounds without duplicating material featured on other titles in the range, so ensuring fans are not only guaranteed top quality music, but also great value for money.
