Torrent Description
 This 3CD set of 48 original Jamaican recordings features songs that can be seen as a cornerstone of the blue beat explosion and subsequent ska movements of the 60's, later popularised in the UK in the 80's. If you want to know who influenced The Specials, Madness etc and in turn who inspired the music of their influences such as Prince Buster, Toots & The Maytals, The Skatalites etc this is the compilation for you featuring hits from The Jiving Juniors With Duke Reid & His Group, Laurel Aitken, Lloyd Clarke, Byron Lee & The Dragonaires, Derrick Morgan and more. Blue Beat Records was a UK record label started in 1960, as a subsidiary of Emile E. Shalit's Melodisc Records. The label initially imported JA R&B music because the West Indian immigrants living in the UK wanted to keep the pulse with what was happening back home. As a result of Blue Beat being started, scores of British Mods(always looking for the next hep sound) started to request Blue Beat records get spun at their dances, or the Mods would attend dancehalls that catered to the West Indians that followed the Mods in adopting Jamaican/Reggae music as the soundtrack for their subcultures. As a result of this crossover, all JA pop music quickly became known as "Blue Beat"...This is why some folks refer to Ska, Rocksteady, and Reggae tunes as "Blue Beat"....you must remember that Blue Beat imported JA music from 1960-1972, so all of the genres were featured on the label. The sound quality on the set is great, considering most of the tunes were recorded on 2 track recording equipment in the most basic of conditions 50+ years ago....so while the sound isn't as full as later recordings made in JA, what you have is a musical time capsule that shows some of the roots of Reggae music.
