HBFM 97 – ROCKIN’ STEADY

Better get ready, come do rock steady, ooh you got to do this new dance, hope you’re ready. You got to do it just like uncle Freddy, if you don’t know: just shake your head, rock your bodyline, shake your shoulders, ev’rything in time.
Alton Ellis introduce the theme for the podcast: ROCKSTEADY!
From the vaults of Treasure Isle to Techniques, have a listen (and a dance) to the sound that changed ska into reggae.
Enjoy!
