Description / Review:

————————

Pressure Sounds’ second foray (the first was PS21 The Uniques “Watch This Sound”) into the rocksteady era is ‘Red Bumb Ball’ a twenty two track collection of some of the most beautiful and well crafted rocksteady music ever made.

‘We were just interested in creating beautiful music’ Lynn Taitt

Opening with the much versioned ‘Red Bumb Ball’ by Lloyd & Devon and on to ‘I’m In A Rocking Mood’ by Austin Faithful the pace never lets up as all the tracks feature the genius of Lynn Taitt & The Jets – THE band that defined the rocksteady period. Derrick Morgan is both producer and featured artist on this set which includes contributions from The Black Brothers, Roland Alphonso and The Viceroys. Great songs with beautiful harmonies, truly ensemble musicianship and progressive production techniques prevail throughout.

The fact that much of this music has been ignored and overlooked in the past is one that Pressure Sounds is hoping to readdress but we have waited until we could find the right material before attempting to compile a second rocksteady album. Presented with the usual care and attention to detail we feel we have finally found a ‘cracking’ album with sleevenotes by Harry Hawke and exemplary artwork and packaging.

“I am the ruler. Always the ruler. Right here on Orange Street” – Derrick Morgan
