    • 1. Derrick Harriott – Solomon
    • 2. Bobby Ellis & The Jets – The Emperor

    Derrick Harriott's original cut to sound system foundation rhythm 'Solomon'. Derrick sings comically about Solomon, who was given wisdom amongst of all mankind from God in the Old Testament: "Solomon was the wisest man but he didn't know the secrets of? a woman" The hit rhythm has been versioned many times over last four decades. On side B, there is a nice & cool horn instrumental entitled 'The Emperor' by Bobby Ellis, its title might imply Derrick Harriott productions had a good taste in music at that time.
