The Merritone label was founded as a subsidiary of Federal Records when the Ska beat was slowing down its tempo to take a next musical form called Rocksteady. "Merritone Rock Steady 2: This Music Got Soul 1966-1967" is a fantastic compliation of this crucial point in the flowering of reggae soul. Worth it for the Hopeton Lewis tracks alone, and a top notch pressing job from the Dub Store - sound quality is second to none!
