Lovingly compiled, this album features only the finest Lovers from Jamaica's finest label. From Blues parties in London, Birmingham, Bristol etc Lovers Rock quickly became one of the UK's finest-ever musical movements. Sweet harmonies, soulful reggae, love songs - the key ingredients of Lovers Rock - were all based on the revival of many of the classic Rocksteady harmony groups of the late 60s and early 70s, such as The Heptones, Carlton and The Shoes, Larry & Alvin, The Paragons, that Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd's Studio One and rival Duke Reid's Treasure Isle label produced hit after hit with as they fought for dominance in the dancehalls of Kingston. As well as these classic harmony groups, this album also features fine contributions from many of the reggae greats - Horace Andy, Alton Ellis, Bob Marley and The Wailers, Delroy Wilson - All artists who became stars at the legendary Studio One Records which Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records, describes as "The University of Reggae".A1 -Delroy Wilson I Don't Know Why A2 -Basil Daley Hold Me Baby A3 -Myrna Hague Touch Me Baby A4 -John Holt & Paragons, The Darling, I Need Your Loving B1 -Sharks, The (2) How Could I Live B2 -Mad Lads* Ten To One B3 -Jackie Mittoo Reggae Magic B4 -Larry & Alvin Your Love B5 -Freddy & Jenny Too Long Will Be Too Late C1 -Alton Ellis Let Him Try C2 -Albert Tomlinson Don't Wait For Me C3 -Horace Andy Got To Be Sure C4 -Carlton And His Shoes* Never Give Your Heart Away C5 -Heptones, The Ready To Learn D1 -Bob & Marcia Really Together D2 -Ernest Wilson Undying Love D3 -Bob Marley & The Wailers I'm Still Waiting D4 -Doreen Shaffer We're All Alone
