V/A - Jackpot Of Hits/Explosive Rocksteady

In 1968 Joe Gibbs issued "Rocksteady Explosion", an album featuring a mixture of old hits and contemporary work. Early the following year Trojan released a second compilation of Joe Gibbs' work, "Jackpot Of Hits" featuring some of the producer's best know work to date. These two albums can be found on this compilation,plus a few bonus tracks. Check out these early works of young Joe Gibbs, with the help of the versatile Lynn Tait & The Jets, in those days his household backing band. Every track on this album is a gem, from the time that Junior Byles fronted The Versatiles, Winston Francis led the Mellotones and Errol Dunkley was still in his teens. You can't miss out on this one !
