4 out of 5 stars Great collection from a performer too-little known   September 28, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Fantastic collection of tracks from a rock steady legend who is too little known to today's reggae fans. One CD of solid instrumentals, including a seminal version of the classic "Pressure and Slide," and one featuring Taitt's work behind a medley of great late 60's singers. Pure class.


5 out of 5 stars It's about time   December 4, 2005

Lyn Taitt is a legend, the only problem is not many people know it yet. Unless your really into ska, rocksteady, or reggae, chances are you've never heard of him, which is understandable since before now, all that was available was one of his instrumental albums, "Rocksteady Greatest Hits", which was so hard to get it might as well have been out of print(which i think now it is out of print). But now trojan have come to the rescue with one of their great anthologies. You really can't go wrong with any of these trojan 2 disc anthologies, i tend to buy as many as i can find(other great sets are Skatalites and Friends- Phoenix City, and Tommy McCook- Real Cool). This collection of Lynn Taitt's work is something i've been waiting for for years since i bought "Rocksteady Greatest Hits", which is represented on here with 7 of the albums 12 tracks. The first disc has 27 of his amazing instrumental cuts, while the second disc contains vocal tracks of which Lynn Taitt and the Jets were the session band. These vocals are all amazing, and a bunch of them are REALLY rare, and there are a lot of big names, such as Hopeton Lewis, the Paragons(Who did the original version of "The Tide Is High" which later became a big hit for Blondie), The Melodians(who were on the soundtrack to The Harder They Come), and Johnny Nash. So go out and buy this set, it's on trojan so it'll be easy to get. Any store that carries ska should have it. Hopefully this set will bring Lynn Taitt the recognition he deserves.
