Upon his premature demise in 1976, Pottinger inherited the business, although it was not until the close of the decade that the true value of Reid’s work began to be appreciated once more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAside from re-releasing numerous classic \u003cem\u003eTreasure Isle\u003c\/em\u003e sides on 7” and a trio of “Hottest Hits” long players, Pottinger also had \u003cem\u003eTreasure Isle\u003c\/em\u003e sound engineer, \u003cstrong\u003eErrol Brown\u003c\/strong\u003e, remix many of Reid’s most significant sides, updating the sound to fit the new dancehall style. The result was a series of 12” singles that saw issue in Jamaica on either the \u003cem\u003eTreasure Isle\u003c\/em\u003e or her own \u003cem\u003eHigh Note\u003c\/em\u003e label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVirtually all of these recordings, along with four previously unreleased sides, feature on this essential collection.
