First ever anthology of Sunshot Records. Includes numerous Jamaican chart hits. The growing international interest in Jamaican music as the 60s progressed emboldened increasing numbers of dynamic and ambitious music makers on the island to launch their own record labels. By the close of the decade, Kingston's recording industry was awash with such talent, with this new generation of enterprising record producers including such future luminaries as Lee Perry, Joe Gibbs, Bunny Lee, Harry Johnson, Lloyd Charmers and the man whose early productions provide the focus of this compilation: George Phillips AKA Phil Pratt. The singer-turned-producer whose initial recordings had been distributed by former Skatalites' road manager Ken Lack introduced his Sunshot Records label early in 1969, finding almost immediate success with major Jamaican hits by celebrated singer Ken Boothe. Encouraged by these early triumphs, Pratt swiftly expanded his artists roster to include other major stars on the burgeoning reggae scene, with the likes of John Holt, Dennis Alcapone, Pat Kelly and Horace Andy all scoring significant hits with the producer. This first Doctor Bird volume of Phil Pratt's productions brings together almost the entirety of output from his from the first two years of his career as a record label manager and features numerous major hits alongside an abundance of obscurities that have remained unissued since their original release over 50 years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eArtibella - Ken Boothe\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Victory - The Phil Pratt All Stars\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Can’t Fight Me Down - Ken Boothe\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Silver and Gold - Charley Ace\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e My Heart Is Gone - John Holt\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Cut Throat - The Phil Pratt All Stars\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Picture Or No Picture - Dennis Alcapone\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e I'm Not For Sale - Ken Boothe\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Book Of Books - Charlie Ace\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Musical Dove - Phillip Samuel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Give To Me - Ken Boothe\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Musical Chalice - Charlie Ace\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Heart Made Of Stone - Jackie Bernard\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Why - Ken Boothe\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Strange Things - John Holt\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Strange Mood – The Phil Pratt All Stars\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Our Forefathers Died In The Sand - Carl Moore\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Strange Mood (bongo version) - Bongo Herman\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Morning - Ken Boothe\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Your Own Thing - The Twinkle Brothers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Hallelujah aka My Sweet Lord - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e I May Never (See My Baby Anymore) - Horace Andy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Running Child - Errol Dunkley\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Rebel Nyah - The Tidals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Rasta Fire - Phil Pratt All Stars\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e They Talk About Love - Pat Kelly\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Soulful Love - Pat Kelly\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e I Wish It Would Rain - Pat Kelly\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Both Sides Now - Pat Kelly\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Bridge Over Troubled Waters - Pat Kelly\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e How Long (Sunshot mix) - Pat Kelly\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e That Special Love - Pat Kelly\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Steal Away - Pat Kelly\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e It Couldn't Be - Pat Kelly\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e He Ain't Heavy He’s My Brother - Pat Kelly\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Bonus tracks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Love Skank - Phil Pratt All Star\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e This A Butter - Dennis Alcapone\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Talk About Version - Bongo Herman\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Miss Wine-E Wine-E - Ken Boothe\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Baby Don't You Do It - Delroy Wilson\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Pee-Pa-Do Festival - The Tropic Shadows\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Sweet Wanton - Barrington Spence\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Phil Pratt Ranch - Bongo Herman\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e One In Three - The Kingstonians\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Living In A White Men Land - Alton Ellis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Where Must I Go - Barrington Spence\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e What About The Half - Dennis Brown\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e What About The Half (Version) - The Soul Syndicate\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Give Me Justice - John Holt\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Our Anniversary - The Tropic Shadows\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58291819577726,"sku":"5013929285644.0","price":21.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/5331\/4430\/files\/4387854-3293664.jpg?v=1792734034","url":"https:\/\/kr6f2j-43.myshopify.com\/products\/silver-gold-the-sunshot-records-collection-1969-1971-various","provider":"Track Cache","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
