Rock Steady albums have a tendency to and come go. 'Safe Travel' is something a little bit different. If you were to try and buy these records in there original 7' form. You would be looking at a bill of thousands of £s. Included on 'Safe Travel' are some of the rarest releases on The Caltone & JohnTom labels. Beautiful minor key melodies with superb vocals. Phil Pratts singing and productions have always been exceptional. 'Reach Out' and 'Safe Travel' are simply stunning examples of the 'art' of rock steady
Vocalists Ken Boothe's 'The One I Love' Larry Marshall's 'No One To Give Me Love' and the very young Horace Andy's 'Black Mans Country' (his first ever recording) are all tracks that are timeless. The Instrumentals feature, Tommy McCook, Don Drummond Jnr (Vin Gordon) and the great Lyn Tait. One of the tracks has never seen the light of day before. Tommy McCooks 'Big Things'. We have the usual attention to detail. Harry Hawks sleevenotes. Beautiful graphics and restored sound. Twenty three tracks of the coolest Rock Steady everThis is a beautiful release and one that we hope you enjoy . Get in the Groove!!!
