Amazing!
“Heres a Norwegian religous duo Elna Fredhoy and Rigmor Odun with a fantastic EP cover from the Harmoni label Oslo,Number HEP 178 would you believe!. It must come from the fifties and those interested in guitars and wonder what type is shown here…its a German Isana guitar and Elvis even had one when he was in Germany during his army years. These ladies have personalised both their instruments by adding the text “Helliget Herren” ….the Holy Lord.” Keith Stevens, Nora, Sweden

Lynn Taitt & The Jets “Rock Steady. A greatest hits package by one of the originators of Ska and the Rock Steady sound from Jamaica in the mid-sixties. This is a 1970 compilation on Merritone.

“Deep within the bubbling Jamaican cauldron of ska, mento, and soul, Nearlin ‘Lynn’ Taitt called for the rhythm drop that sparked rocksteady and made the subsequent emergence of reggae inevitable. A Trinidad-born guitarist who relocated to Jamaica in 1962, Taitt became a workhorse session player, arranger and composer in the 1960s. As a longtime Skatalites member, he backed everyone from Toots & The Maytals to the Wailers to Desmond Dekker, as well as the countless other artists who came to Kingston to make records; by 1968, his involvement spanned some 1,500 recordings. Today, Taitt lives in Canada and continues to make a living as a music maker.” – Lynn Taitt: Rocksteady a new documentary
