Various- Rock Steady: Ska & Rock Steady Classics From Treasure Isle Vol. 1
Various- Rock Steady: Ska & Rock Steady Classics From Treasure Isle Vol. 1

Forming the bridge between ska and reggae, Rock Steady is arguably the most influential of Jamaican music's many sub-genres. Although it lasted only a couple of years, Rock Steady yielded several of the island's most immortal rhythm tracks. It is also probably the most contested of reggae formats, the innovations behind it's irresistible beat claimed by a range of practitioners.

Open My Records To Avoid Seam Splitting During Shipping

In order to ship your records to you in the safest way possible, and to avoid seam splits, we recommend removing the record from the jacket when shipping. That said, we will never open sealed records and do this without your permission. If you would like your records shipped to you this way, please add this product to your cart.

We will place your jacket and record inside a FREE protective poly.
