Over the following decades Island released seminal recordings by artists who helped shape ska, rock steady and reggae. This compilation draws on those formative years and the label's role in bringing Jamaican sounds to an international audience. The roster represented here features many of the era's key names, highlighting the energy and inventiveness of early Jamaican musicians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis release collects twenty tracks from the first musical chapter of Island Records' history, concentrating on material from 1959 to 1964. The set showcases the transition from calypso and mento influences to the offbeat shuffling rhythm that became known as ska, and includes early hits and landmark performances. Standout inclusions are Laurel Aitken's \"Boogie In My Bones\", Millie Small's \"My Boy Lollipop\", Robert Marley's \"Judge Not\" and Jimmy Cliff's \"King Of Kings\", which together illustrate the variety and raw energy of the period. As a historical compilation, it presents both well-known singles and lesser-heard gems that trace the development of Jamaican popular music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExecutive Producers: Chris Blackwell and Matt Stringer.
