Saint Thomas (Soul Brothers); Archie Buck Them Up (Lord Creator); Rolling Stone (The Wailers); Evening News (Lord Creator); Time For Everything (The Soulettes); Sound And Music (Jackie Mittoo & Soul Brothers) // Festival 66 (Soul Brothers); Jamaica Memories (Roy Richards & Soul Brothers); Balla Mena (The Gaylads); Let Him Go (The Wailers); Riding For A Fall (Delroy Wilson); Falling In Love (The Gaylads)

Original Jamaican issue in Jamaica Times (Press) Ltd. sleeve.

An excellent collection of tracks that, in 1966, were previously unissued as 45rpm singles (with the majority remaining unreleased). All vocal tracks are backed by the incomparable Soul Brothers band, and feature an alternative mix of the Wailers' Rolling Stone with additional keyboards.

Like other sleeves printed by Jamaica Times, this one was first printed onto white paper before being stuck onto brown card. Some of these (including this one) used re-cycled LP covers - the copy here being stuck over a Della Reese album. ((Click sleeve to enlarge.))

Jamaican re-mix. Some copies were issued in the original sleeve, while others come in a more professionally printed replica with Coxson Music City addresses in both Kingston and Brooklyn on the back.

A nice clean pressing that includes the more familiar mix of Rolling Stone.
