• First ever re-release of classic Trojan LP • Many tracks new to CD • Includes many of Jamaica’s biggest hits from 1967 to 1970 During the late 1960s, a select number of independent Jamaican music makers successfully challenged the island’s recording industry giants and of these, few proved more talented or influential than Derrick Harriott. By the close of the decade, Harriott had produced a succession of local hits on his Crystal and Move & Groove imprints, and in 1970 a dozen of his most popular rock steady and reggae works to date were gathered on what proved to be one of Trojan Records’ most popular LPs of the year: ‘Psychedelic Train’. Now, some 46 years after its original release, this seminal album is at long last available once more, with its original dozen tracks augmented by a further 13 rock steady and early reggae recordings. The end result is the most definitive collection of the immensely popular singer-producer’s early works yet to see issue.

Wonderful cd of Derrick Harroitt's late 60s rock steady/ Reggae Well done Doctor Bird for releasing this outstanding cd of the magnificent Derrick Harriott. How about a cd of his earlier R&B/ Ska material based around his debut album Best of Derrick Harriott

Not So Freaky
saw this back in the day and was put off buying it,by the title.The reason ? even though it was on Trojan thought it would be a hippy thing.How wrong I was! These are classic Derrick Harriot productions,songs and instrumentals.The final cut is a scorcher,so glad to have taken the plunge some 40 odd years later.Please keep these wicked re-issues coming Cherry Red Records.

Despite some tracks appearing on other compilations this expanded cd is still worthy of purchase.
