Sounds From Bond Street - Treasure Isle Solid Gold - various Rocksteady artists compilation

 

There's a flurry of rare Jamaican singles on the cover, and that's definitely what you'll hear on this album – but presented in a great format that really makes these ska and rocksteady nuggets come alive with better sound than in their original pressings!
