When this was released in 1961 it became the first album put out by Clement Dodd and its appearance marked a shift in Mr. Dodd’s strategy. Long a fan of US R&B and Jazz releases he had been collecting American albums for some time and now began his own experimentation in the long-playing format. Jamaica at that point had not entered the album market for its popular local productions which were till then exclusively found on 45s. Studio One was to go on and release a staggering number of albums throughout the label’s long and storied existence.
