Laurel Aitken
The Fantastic Laurel Aitken
CD
"By 1972, Laurel Aitken was well and truly established as the Father of British Reggae, having dominated the country’s Jamaican music scene since his arrival at the start of the sixties. But having enjoyed success with every UK-based West Indian record company of note over the previous eleven years, he was no longer content with simply domestic triumphs and set his sights on conquering foreign territories. So it was he took the unusual step of licensing his next album to companies in Europe and North America, while leaving his legions of British fans scrambling for the few copies available on import. Now, some 27 years after its original release, this highly sought after collection, featuring many of the singer’s most popular Pama and Trojan recordings from ’70 to ‘72, finally receives its first official UK release."
