This compilation may start a passion, even an obsession, for rocksteady, or just be a fascinating glimpse of that music. Duke Reid's Treasure Isle label released songs by The Paragons, Alton Ellis or Phyllis Dillon, and the musicians who played on these recordings were some of the best of the isle, like Baba Brooks and Ernest Ranglin.
