Sweet Sweet Dreams

Sweet Sweet Dreams has been elevated to holy grail status becoming one of the most sought-after Caribbean disco records in existence. Sweet Sweet Dreams was recorded at the legendary SHARC studios, located on a hill in Chaguaramas (near Port of Spain) and despite a fantastic sound and monster Soca-boogie tunes like Lets get it Together, Lets Make it Up and Way, Way Out the album was a commercial flop, probably due to the fact that it didn't sound like anything else coming out of Trinidad and Tobago at the time: It fused a range of different rhythms and new sounds, primarily heavy synth riffs. When it came out in 1984 the far-out album Sweet Sweet Dreams by Trinidad and Tobago's Shadow (aka Winston Bailey) was described as "way ahead of its time". Undeservedly it was panned by critics and, unable to reach markets, disappeared into the dusty record collections of a few music aficionados. Now, more than three decades later that cosmic dance-floor UFO is about to take off again, change all that and set the record straight. Remastered and cut by Frank Meritt at The Carvery the album is truly a masterpiece.
