Doctor Bird

Doctor Bird is a music label that was founded in the UK by Graeme Goodall, an Australian sound engineer and original shareholder of Island Records. The label was revived by Trojan Records in 1970 for three releases before being relaunched in 2017 as a division of Cherry Red Records. Doctor Bird specializes in vintage Jamaican sounds licensed from the catalogue of Trojan Records.
Graeme Goodall played a significant role in the Jamaican music scene, engineering sessions at various studios and producing countless recordings during the ska era. He also formed other labels such as Pyramid Records and Attack to promote reggae music. Despite relocating to Atlanta, Georgia in the 1970s, Goodall continued his involvement with music until his passing in 2014.
Today, Doctor Bird continues to bring Jamaican rocksteady and other vintage sounds to music enthusiasts worldwide through their curated selection of releases. With its rich history and dedication to preserving iconic Jamaican music, Doctor Bird remains a respected authority on this genre.

First collection of Beverley’s Records revered rock steady recordings. Featuring numerous rock steady classics. With ten recordings new to CD!

Widely revered by Jamaica music aficionados, Leslie Kong’s Beverley’s Records released some of the finest recordings to see issue in Jamaica following its launch at the start of the 1960s, through to its close in 1972, following the premature passing of its founder the previous year.

During this golden age of Jamaican music, the label’s roster included such legendary artists Desmond Dekker, Jimmy Cliff, The Maytals, The Pioneers, The Gaylads , The Melodians and Bob Marley And The Wailers, but while the recordings of these giants have provided the focus of numerous compilations over the years, the work of the lesser- known acts to record for Kong has remained largely overlooked.

This 2CD collection sets to address this oversight by bringing together the cream of Beverley’s less familiar late ska, rock steady and proto reggae sides from late 1966 to the close of ’68.

While the names of those featured may not be widely familiar, the standard of the music rates alongside the very best of Beverley’s output during this fascinating hugely creative period of Jamaican music history.
