Derrick Morgan - This Is Derrick Morgan CD/LP

RELEASES ON THE 24/2/23

Derrick Morgan is one of the greats of Jamaican music, he is the undisputed King of Ska. But his recording career did not stop in 1967 when the sound of Ska slowed down into Rocksteady. Nor did it stop in 1968 when Rocksteady evolved into the early sound of Reggae.

The set you have here was first released in 1974 when Reggae was King, the album carried the name "In the Mood"... but also had the working title "This is Derrick Morgan". A title in the world of Reggae carrying the moniker would normally be used to introduce new singer and be his showcase album. In this case in could be used to reintroduce the singer Derrick Morgan to the new Reggae sound.
