Torrent description

TROJAN ROCKSTEADY BOX SET - ALTHOUGH THE ROCKSTEADY ERA was relatively short-lived, some of the most enduring recordings in the history of Jamaican music were created during it'e brief lifespan. From the emergence of the genre in 1966 until the development of Reggae two years later, Rocksteady prevailed in Jamaica and it is these soulful sounds from that golden era which provide the focus of this collection.

The development of Rocksteady, and the demise of it's predecessor, Ska, resulted from a general need for change allied to one of the hottest Jamaican summers on record. The scorching conditions which persisted throughout the early months of '66 undoubtedly played it's part in the desire for the creation of a slower style more conducive to dancing in such a climate. As the high temperatures continued unabated, the tempo of the music decreased accordingly and by the end of the year the transformation from Ska to Rocksteady was complete. The once favoured driving beat had disappeared and with it the limitations it's rigid structure had imposed. The new slower rhythm introduced a freedom of expression previously denied to performers, musicians and producers. While vocalists in general benefited greatly from the change, it was particularly welcomed by vocal groups, who were finally given the opportunity to bring their harmonies to the fore. The successful adaptation to the new style by the likes of the Gaylads, The Maytals and Desmond Dekker & The Aces inspired the formation of new trios and quartets and soon Jamaica was awash with new vocal groups.
