To commemorate Jamaica’s 60th year of independence, Doctor Bird present Derrick Morgan’s seminal long player, the title track of which became a national anthem for celebrating islanders in 1962.
Previously unavailable on CD, the LP has been expanded to include the remainder of the singer-songwriter’s early recordings for Leslie Kong’s revered Beverley’s Records, originally released between 1961-1963.
The second disc focuses on Derrick’s return to Beverley’s during the Rock Steady era, with
the selection commencing with his hugely collectable ‘Best Of’ album, which first saw issue
on Doctor Bird in 1969.
