Compilation producer: Chris Wilson. Engineers: Al Iton, Graham Goodall, Byron Smith. Recorded at Federal Records and Treasure Isle Studio, Kingston, Jamaica. Includes liner notes by Brian Keyo. An excellent companion to Heartbeat's equally fine Ska Bonanza (a two-disc set of Studio One ska sides), Treasure Isle Ska spotlights the wealth of material Duke Reid produced during the first half of the '60s. Boasting excellent sound and a generous 21 tracks, the compilation features Duke Reid's Allstars (later to morph into the Skatalites) backing both singers and instrumental soloists. On the vocal end, standouts include Stranger & Patsy's insouciant "When I Call Your Name," Stranger Cole's bold "Rough and Tough," and Eric "Monty" Morris' biblical "Strongman Sampson." For instrumental booty, there's a clutch of numbers featuring such future Skatalite and studio stars as trumpeter Baba Brooks ("Nuclear Weapon"), trombonist Don Drummond ("Thoroughfare"), and guitarist Lynn Tait ("Storm Warning"). A very enjoyable ska primer. ~ Stephen Cook
