Description
Jamaica to Toronto: Soul Funk and Reggae 1967-1974, details the crucial sonic migration (Of Jamaican artists moving to Toronto) and stands tall as the second helping of Light In The Attic�s new Jamaica to Toronto series, compiled by DJ/Canadian music historian Sipreano. Check!Jamaica to Toronto has been over three years in the making, a combination of deep crates, exhaustive research, and foundational tales presented with the same attention to detail as 2004�s Wayne McGhie & The Sounds Of Joy release (LITA 008), the initial release in the Jamaica to Toronto series. The CD version of Jamaica to Toronto is accompanied with a 36-page book, exploding with unseen archival materials and extensive liner notes.
The 16 songs on Jamaica to Toronto range from the in-demand Northern Soul attack of Eddie Spencer�s �If This Is Love (I�d Rather Be Lonely)� to Jo-Jo And The Fugitives� unknown break-beat monster, �Chips-Chicken-Banana Split�. Taken from his 1971 album Wishbone, Mittoo�s �Grand Funk� sounds like a Jamaican Santana, while The Hitch-Hikers featuring The Mighty Pope represent raw funk of the highest order on the righteous �Mr. Fortune�. Reggae comes courtesy of dancehall don Johnnie Osbourne�s �African Wake� as well as the magical �Memories� from Noel Ellis. Jamaica to Toronto is only the beginning, so sit back and buckle your safety belt; this musical flight is about to take off�
