First serious anthology of Lloyd Charmers' earliest productions. Twelve tracks new to CD. Features some of reggae music's greatest Jamaican performers. The late 60s and early 70s witnessed a transformation of the Jamaican music industry, with the global popularity of the new reggae sound opening the way for a host of ambitious independent record producers to make their mark on the local scene and shores beyond. Among this new breed of record-makers were a number of former recording artists whose influence on the future direction of reggae would prove profound, with their number including Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Winston 'Niney' Holness, Clancy Eccles, Derrick Harriott and the man whose early reggae productions are showcased on this set, Lloyd Charmers. 'Reggae In Wonderland' collects the cream of Charmers' early output as an independent producer from a fascinating period in Jamaican music history, during which reggae underwent a series of transformations that commenced with the driving rhythms of boss reggae and closed with a more measured style that echoed the rock steady sound of the late 60s. The recordings featured here are major hits and long forgotten rarities, performed by some of Jamaica's most accomplished artists, most notably Bob Andy, Ken Boothe, Dave Barker, Owen Gray, B. B. Seaton, Bobby Davis and of course Charmers himself. To quote the legendary Paul Nicholas, this is reggae like it used to be!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong About Now - Bruce Ruffin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Real Real - Lloyd Robinson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Come See About Me - Lloyd Charmers ; the Soul Stirrers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e House in Session - Tommy Cowan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e They Got to Move - Lloyd Robinson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Why Baby Why - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hot Shot - Karl Bryan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Trouble Trouble - Lloyd Robinson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Last Laugh - the Jokers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Sweeter She Is - the Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Doggone Right - Bobby Davis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sindy - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Since I Lost My Baby - Bob Andy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Colour Him Father - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Going in Circles - Bobby Davis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Black Power - Lloyd ; Dave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Baby I Need Your Loving - Bob Andy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Birth Control - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I'm Gone - Lloyd ; Hortense\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Can't Get Next to You - the Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Love You Madly - Busty Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love I Madly - Bongo Tony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e All Kinds of Everything - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e California Dreaming - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Just As Long As You Need Me - Busty Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Just My Imagination (Take 2) - Dave Barker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Oh Me Oh My - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e What Should I Do - Dave Barker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Going in Circles - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cool and Easy - U Roy Junior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One Woman - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Reggae in Wonderland - Lester Williams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I've Gotta Get a Message to You - the Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ever Strong - Bongo Tony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Skinhead Train - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Life of a Millionaire - Dave Barker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rock Steady - the Marvels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Travelling on - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Summertime - Dave Barker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Humpty Dumpty - Bongo Tony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One Big Unhappy Family (Part One) - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One Big Unhappy Family (Part Two) - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Harry's Mood - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Be My Baby - the Marvels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One Two Three - Roy Shirley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Plus One - Roy Shirley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Shaft - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rasta Never Fails - Lloyd ; Ken\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Africa Is Paradise - Lloyd ; B.B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Owen Gray's Greatest Hits (Part 1) - Owen Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Owen Gray's Greatest Hits (Part 2) - Owen Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The End - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Just My Imagination (Take 1) - Dave Barker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50401004454162,"sku":"5013929284449","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/4340393-3181915.jpg?v=1729119744","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/reggae-in-wonderland-the-splash-singles-1968-1973-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
