If I Had A Pair Of Wings, Vol. 3
A third and final volume of this Jamaican doo wop and R&B series featuring track from the late '50s and early '60s.
These records represent a period in which sound-systems were beginning to dominate the island, with Duke Reid and Sir
Coxsone Dodd stepping up their rivalry by beginning to make and release their own records rather than rely on US imports
for use in their dances. Many of these records are definitely more-or-less imitations of the American records, as the
uniquely Jamaican ska sound was yet to take hold - however many of the future stars of ska, rocksteady and reggae were
beginning to cut their teeth in the industry on these records, including Alton Ellis, Derrick Morgan, Derrick Harriott
and more, and provide a unique view into the fledgling independent record industry culture in Jamaica that would prove
to be unbelievably prolific and unparalleled for an island of it's size.
