A The Sensations - Everyday Is Just A Holiday b/w B Tommy Mccook & The Supersonics - Rock Away The sweltering rocksteady classic Every Day Is A Holiday, with the soulful Bobby Davis as lead vocalist, stands out as one of The Sensations' top hits for the Treasure Isle label. Initially released in 1969 in Jamaica and the UK by Treasure Isle and Trojan Records respectively, it featured Winston Wright's organ cut to Joya Landis' Moonlight Lover on the other side. In this reissue, the pairing of The Sensations’ Every Day Is Just A Holiday with Tommy McCook & The Supersonics’ Rock Away is more fitting, as it presents the straight instrumental version of the riddim. This enchanting riddim was subsequently revived by influential Jamaican producers such as Coxsone Dodd, Bunny "Striker" Lee, Joe Gibbs, and Phillip "Fatis" Burrell. Following the Skatalites' breakup in 1965, where Tommy McCook served as the bandleader, he received a proposal from producer Arthur 'Duke' Reid to assume the role of musical director for his labels, which he accepted. Subsequently, he formed a new band called Tommy McCook & The Supersonics. They became known for their distinctive sound, prominently featured in various Treasure Isle recordings from the rocksteady period. One of the notable recordings is Rock Away, which once more illustrates that Tommy's saxophone sound is rarely harsh, with notes flowing smoothly. Read the full article

A Alton Ellis - What Does It Take To Win Your Love B Tommy McCook - Reggae Merengue Since the late 1950s, many iconic Jamaican hits have been derived from popular foreign songs. The original pop and soul melodies found favor among listeners on the island, prompting reggae artists to produce their own versions. Alton Ellis was one such artist who transformed covers into enduring hits. One notable song he interpreted is What Does It Take (To Win Your Love), a hit by Jr. Walker & the All Stars from 1969. Alton's single was launched in Jamaica and the UK in 1970 under the Treasure Isle and Duke Reid labels, respectively. In this rendition, Alton's vocal talent shines through, complemented by sweet harmonies. A different take on What Does It Take To Win Your Love also surfaced in 1971 on his Studio One album Sunday Morning. Similar to its first release, the reissued 7" single features the lively Calypso instrumental Reggae Merengue by Tommy McCook & The Supersonics on the B-side. This track is actually a well-done slowed-down version of Orquesta Ritmos de Sabana's Cogeme la Cane. Read the full article
