  • Description

    First ever reissue of a hugely collectable album •Many tracks new to CD •Includes many of the most sought-after ska tracks ever issued In 1965, Sonia Pottinger launched what would become one of the most successful record companies in Jamaican music history: Gay Feet. An early indication of its long-term success was the enormous popularity of its inaugural release, ‘Every Night’ by singing duo, Joe White & Chuck, which topped the local charts throughout the latter half of the year. Over the months that immediately followed, further 7� singles on Pottinger's newly created imprint peppered the national listings, with their success prompting the release of aptly titled ‘Gay Feet’ LP early in 1966. Now, after half a century, this hugely collectable album, comprising the producer’s most popular ska, jump up and R&B sides of the period, is finally made available once more, with the original dozen tracks bolstered by a further twelve mid-1960s recordings from Sonia Pottinger’s legendary catalogue. With much of the music appearing on CD for the first time, this long overdue release is a ska collector’s dream!
