Greater Jamaica Moon Walk - Reggay

Cut above Duke Reid’s Kingston liquor store, this 1969 Treasure Isle set hits like a dispatch from a rhythm-obsessed space program, channeling Apollo-era moon fever straight through Tommy McCook’s rocksteady-tight Supersonics. Across a heavyweight rotation of marginally-credited vocal runs from John Holt, Dave Barker, and The Ethiopians, it captures boss reggae in equal parts corner-bar sweat and cosmic ambition.
