LLOYD PARKS & WE THE PEOPLE  MEET THE PEOPLE LP  CLASSIC LATE SEVENTIES REVIVE!!

LLOYD PARKS & WE THE PEOPLE  MEET THE PEOPLE 2017 PARKS (UK) RE-ISSUE OF 1978 LP

 

Kingston, Jamaica, spring 1978, and Lloyd Parks is taking his We The People band in to Joe Gibbs’ Studio to record the ‘Meet The People’ album. Lloyd has already achieved big local hits both as a solo singer and with the Termites, and had three solo albums released by Trojan in the UK. Now, as a session musician, he is at the heart of Joe Gibbs’ quest for international success. That February his bass playing helped to propel Althea and Donna’s ‘Uptown Top Ranking’ to number one in the British charts. By 1978, Joe Gibbs was really starting to taste international success, with the ‘African Dub’ series and albums by Culture and Prince Far I having found a wide audience overseas, and Dennis Brown just about to break through. After an apprenticeship at Studio One, Errol Thompson had shaped the sound of early reggae at Randy’s Studio, leading early forays into dub, before moving to Joe Gibbs’ new 16-track studio in 1975. The pair were soon nicknamed ‘The Mighty Two’. As the We The People band became increasingly in demand as a live act, Lloyd’s collaborations with Dennis Brown for Joe Gibbs created a huge hit with their recut of ‘Money In My Pocket’, and a brace of albums for A&M. The ‘Meet The People’ album may have had limited distribution, but its rarity has only added to its strong reputation with aficionados over the years. Today its songs of reality still resonate, and vibrancy of the musicians still jumps out of the speakers. Track listing as follows;
