It documents the recordings being made for this very album at the Tuff Gong studios, Kingston, Jamaica in April 2008, telling the story of the original vocalists and musicians involved. Excerpts from an all star reunion concert staged in Kingston and older archive material complete the picture. Never before in the history of Jamaica, which already occupies a unique place on the world map of song, its sound embraced by western popular music, has such an illustrious collection of singers and players been assembled. The album showcases 15 rocksteady classics in sparkling, deeply inspired new versions, recorded in the studio which also played host to album sessions of a certain Bob Marley. Under the musical direction of Ernest Ranglin, a guitarist of considerable renown not only on the reggae circuit, but also on the jazz scene, mixed by legendary engineer Errol Brown - in Duke Reid's employ at the Treasure Isle studio in the sixties - and freshly arranged by Lynn Taitt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003eSIDE A\u003cbr\u003eYou Don't Love Me (No No No) - Dawn Penn 5:13\u003cbr\u003ePeople Rocksteady - Leroy Sibbles 3:10\u003cbr\u003eSounds \u0026amp; Pressure - Hopeton Lewis 4:28\u003cbr\u003eSilent River Runs Deep - Judy Mowatt 3:21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSIDE B\u003cbr\u003eStop That Train - U-Roy 3:49\u003cbr\u003eFreedom Street - Ken Boothe 4:09\u003cbr\u003eTougher Than Tough - Derrick Morgan 3:02?\u003cbr\u003eTake It Easy - Hopeton Lewis 3:35\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSIDE C\u003cbr\u003eLove Me Today feat.
