Lovers Rock: The Soulful Sound of Romantic Reggae (3CD)

內容簡介

內容簡介 The first British reggae sub-genre to achieve ’outernational’ success and influence the music of Jamaica, lovers rock was a dominating force in the UK scene, from the mid-Seventies through to the close of the Eighties. Developed largely as a counterpoint to the more militant style of roots reggae, the romantically-themed genre was heavily influenced by the styles of US R&B and the predominantly soulful Jamaican rock steady sound of the Sixties. Despite the style achieving mainstream success with a number of major UK chart hits, lovers rock received scant attention in the mainstream media until the screening of Steve’s McQueen’s award-winning 2020 BBC TV series, "Small Axe ", the highlight of which was an aptly titled episode that paid tribute to the style and it’s impact upon British culture. Since then, interest in the genre has continued to grow internationally and reflecting this trend comes this handsomely packaged 3xCD digipack collection. Comprising 60 of the most popular and influential recordings in the style, the collection includes works by such legendary British performers as Janet Kay, Carroll Thompson, Dennis Bovell and Louisa Mark, alongside established Jamaican reggae royalty, notably Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown, John Holt and Sugar Minott. With it’s focus firmly upon the best-loved romantic reggae sounds of the Seventies and Eighties, this essential collection of dancefloor favourites provides the most authentic representation of lovers rock sounds yet to see issue.Tracklist1-1 Janet Kay - Silly Games 3:531-2 Carroll Thompson - Hopelessly In Love 3:531-3 Brown Sugar (4) - I’m In Love With A Dreadlocks 3:131-4 Sister Stern - Devoted To You 3:061-5 Dennis Bovell As African Stone - Choose Me 3:441-6 Carroll Thompson - Simply In Love 4:001-7 Winston Reedy - Baby Love 3:571-8 Hortense Ellis - (Love Comes From The Most) Unexpected Places 4:181-9 Sylvia Tella - Spell 4:081-10 The J Sisters - I Can’t Give You Anything (But My Love) 4:421-11 Marcia Aitken - I’m Still In Love With You 3:451-12 Marie Pierre - Can’t Go Through With Life 2:561-13 Louisa Mark - Keep It Like It Is 2:381-14 Errol Campbell (3) - African Queen 3:151-15 Barry Biggs & Ruddy Thomas - Reflections Of My Life 3:321-16 Winston Reedy - Moi Emma Ooh 3:111-17 Angelique (5) - Cry 4:101-18 Ruddy Thomas - When I Think Of You 3:291-19 Fil Callendar & The In Crowd - Baby My Love 5:251-20 Louisa Mark - Caught You In A Lie 3:282-1 Dennis Brown - Money In My Pocket 3:532-2 Sugar Minott - We’ve Got A Good Thing Going 3:352-3 Ruddy Thomas & Susan Cadogan - You Make Me Feel So Good 3:402-4 Winston Reedy - Dim The Light 4:082-5 June ’J.C.’ Lodge* - Someone Loves You, Honey 3:542-6 Leroy Brown (8) - Taxi 4:032-7 Ruddy Thomas - Loving Pauper 3:182-8 John Holt - You Will Never Another Love Like Mine 3:492-9 The In Crowd - Sweet Man 3:562-10 Ken Boothe - Walk Away From Love 4:152-11 Marcia Griffiths - I’m Hurtin’ Inside 4:172-12 Delroy Wilson - Hooked On You 5:002-13 Keith Rowe (2) - Groovy Situation 3:262-14 Cornell Campbell - Investigator 3:382-15 The Sensations - Baby Love 2:412-16 Dennis Brown - Have You Ever Been In Love 3:062-17 Delroy Wilson - People Are Doing It Every Day 4:082-18 Carroll Thompson & Sugar Minott - I Want To Make It With You 4:062-19 John Holt - Sweetie Come Brush Me 3:242-20 Dhaima - Can’t Buy My Love 3:343-1 Gregory Isaacs - Night Nurse 4:063-2 Carroll Thompson - I’m So Sorry 4:223-3 The In Crowd - Getting Cozy 6:033-4 Freddie McGregor - When Push Comes To Shove 3:383-5 Sugar Minott - Lovers Race 2:523-6 Dennis Brown & John Holt - Wildfire 4:153-7 Winston Reedy - Personally Speaking 4:083-8 Ruddy Thomas - Just One Moment Away 3:243-9 Richard Ace - Supernatural Thing 3:193-10 Dennis Brown - Hold On To What You’ve Got 3:033-11 Barry Biggs - Side Show (Dancehall Mix) 3:273-12 T.T.
