Bridge Over Troubled Waters : Original Album Plus Bonus Tracks

19 TRACKS NEW TO CD. SEMINAL 1972 TROJAN ALBUM. INCLUDES SOME OF THE BIGGEST JAMAICAN HITS, 1971- 1973. Having made his mark alongside Billy Dyce in the popular vocal duo, the Inspirations, Trevor Shaw aka Jimmy London embarked on what proved to be immensely successful solo career, commencing with a succession of Jamaican hits for leading Kingston-based enterprise, Randys Records. Such was the singers success that in 1972, Randys Records gathered a dozen of the singers recordings for what was his and the companys - very first long-playing record, Bridge Over Troubled Waters. Concurrently issued in the UK by Trojan Records, the album firmly established London as a major recording star, with highlights including popular reggae interpretations of the title track, along with A Little Love, Shake A Hand, Its Now Or Never and Walk With Love. By this time, Trojan had launched its own Randys subsidiary label to showcase the cream of its Jamaican counterparts output, and it is the majority of tracks that saw issue on the UK imprint between 1971 and 1973, along with remaining highlights from this period (including those featured on the unissued Trojan album, A Little Love) that comprise the remainder of this essential double-disc collection of classic early reggae sides.
