Historic album previously unavailable on any format for 56 years. By 1967, the Jamaican music industry in the UK was flourishing, it's success primarily due to the efforts of a number of talented British-based singers, songwriters and producers, chief among them being the young multi-talented music maker Robert Thompson AKA Dandy. Having first achieved notable success in 1964, partnering Tito Simon on a series of ska singles as Sugar \u0026amp; Dandy, Thompson subsequently made his mark as a solo performer, cutting singles for Emil Shalit's Melodisc Records before commencing a hugely productive relationship with Rita \u0026amp; Benny King's R\u0026amp;B Records. Of his earliest work for the Kings were two of the most enduring rock steady tracks of the era, 'Rudy, A Message To You' and 'Let's Do Rock Steady' - later covered by Two- Tone hitmakers, The Specials and The Bodysnatchers, respectively. Thompson's popularity on the UK Jamaican music scene resulted in the release of his popular debut album 'Rock Steady With Dandy', which saw issue on the R\u0026amp;B subsidiary, Giant in 1967. Now, well over half a decade later, the collection is finally made available again, with it's dozen tracks bolstered by a further 33 recordings, with this 2CD set representing the very best of Dandy's rock steady output for R\u0026amp;B, recorded prior to his move to Trojan Records in the summer of 68.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep Them Fretting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Got You on My Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Soul Power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sock It to Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e People Do Rock Steady Let's Do Rock Steady\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rhythm of the Rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rude with Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Play It Cool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Turn Your Wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Wonderful One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Turn on Your Lovelight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You're No Hustler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Little More Ska\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Fight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Do You Know\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One Scotch One Bourbon One Beer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Maximum Pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rudy a Message to You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Till Death Do Us Part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Time Now\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e East of Suez\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Puppet on a String\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Have Your Fun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e We Are Still Rude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Somewhere My Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Kind of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e There Is a Mountain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e This Music Got Soul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I'm the Mood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e That's How Strong My Love Is\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Trouble in the Town\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Charlie Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ain't That a Shame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Do It Right Now\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Propagandist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Giant March\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sweet Ride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Up the Hill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tears on My Pillow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mad Them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I'm Back with a Bang Bang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jungle Walk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"DR BIRD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58291771998590,"sku":"5013929283145.0","price":20.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/5331\/4430\/files\/4248496-3040300.jpg?v=1792733411","url":"https:\/\/kr6f2j-43.myshopify.com\/products\/dandy-rock-steady-with-dandy-expanded","provider":"Track Cache","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
