Put On Your Best Dress - Sonia Pottinger Ska and Rock Steady 1966 - 1967

Between the summers of 1966 and '68, the sound of rock steady dominated Jamaica's musical landscape. Throughout this time, few producers proved more successful or influential than the island's premiere female music maker, Sonia Pottinger. In recognition of her achievements, Trojan Records gathered a number of her best-known tracks in the style on Put On Your Best Dress, a popular long player released by the company on its Attack subsidiary in 1990.

Now, almost 30 years later, the LP has been expanded to include the very best of Ms. Pottinger's output from the early rock steady period. This creates a superb stand-alone collection of high-quality Jamaican sounds, which also perfectly complements the recently issued ABC Rock Steady 2CD set.

Including a multitude of Jamaican hits plus over a dozen tracks new to CD, this superb compilation has been stunningly repackaged with brand new stylish artwork. This ensures it now looks as good as it sounds. It features 65 cuts from Joe Higgs, The Jolly Boys, The Webber Sisters, Patsy Todd, The Conquerors, The Valentines, and much more.
