notes

Great Compilation of recordings pressed by Dada Tuari on the Caribou and Downbeat Imprints in Jamaica in the 1950s. Licensed material and home produced Mento and Jamaican Shuffle and R&B. The kind of tunes being played on 78rpm Shellac on early jamaican sound systems. Mother's Eyes by Tab Smith was Duke Reid's Treasure Isle Time radio show sign on tune for example.
