Press Release:
These two avidly sought after Early Reggae tracks have been extracted from the 1970 Sufferer album. These 2 tracks are extremely rare on 7” vinyl and are sought after by literally thousands of collectors and Early Reggae fans alike. Price for a mint copy of Hold Down will fetch over Euro 500, if you ever find one.
Jamaican vocal trio, the Kingstonians were formed around 1966 by Cebert Bernard (aka Jackie Bernard) and his brother Lloyd "Footy" Bernard, along with mutual friend Lloyd Kerr. They began their recording career with producer J.J. Johnson, but had their greatest success between 1968 and 1970 with producer Derrick Harriott, who helped steer the singles Singer Man and Sufferer to the top of the Jamaican charts.
With Hold Down
The Kingstonians signed an outstanding track with great vocals, tight lyrics
and a rhythm guaranteed to get these brogues tapping! This gem quickly became a
genuine anthem right next to the likes of 54-46 Was My Number or Moon
Hop and yet it has never been repressed on 7’ vinyl, hence it’s high
collectable value.
