This is, by far, my favorite era of reggae. Whether it's releases on Trojan that were recorded with the export market in mind, or the antecedent to lover's rock, or just monster sounds from the island, there's just SO many qualities tracks and singles, leading to banging comps like this one. It's unfortunate that there's a ton of Heartbeat releases that have gone out of print; as I've gotten older, I'm really drawn to their reissues, even with the shitty replacement artwork. It makes a body want to work out a licensing deal or three...really restore and reissue some of Sir Clement's deep cuts.

Much appreciated, so thanx a lot. You lucky son-of-a-gun, only 2 bucks…; think I paid about ten times that amount way back when this Heartbeat gem was released. No regrets, though. Here’s a free offer in return: just a couple images nicked from Discogs.

For some more Coxsone examples you might want to try one my ‘Spliff Splash’ roots reggae offerings from December at TwilightZone-rideyourpony. Splash 7 is the one with quite a few Studio One tracks. Upload to be found here: https://www26.zippyshare.com/v/hEhC3B27/file.html

I suggest you try the latter link first, for lesser annoyment.
All the best -- HenkP
