The Debonairs - Loving You Takes all my Time

Not much information on this one really. "Loving You Takes all my Time" by the Debonairs was the second record released on shortly-lived Solid Hit label in 1966 (102) and is believed to be worth in the range of 1,000£. It is sometimes referred to as by The Debonaires.

Laurel Aitken and The Skatalites - Rude Boy Dreams

I can't believe this is the first song I am presenting by the Godfather of Ska, Laurel Aitken. Aitken was born in Cuba on April 22, 1927, and moved to his father's homeland of Jamaica in 1938, where he became the first real recording star. His double-A-sided "Little Sheila/Boogie in My Bones" was the first single ever released on Island, as well as one of the earliest ska records. It was also a massive hit in Jamaica, topping the charts for nearly three months, and went on to become the first Jamaican record ever issued in the UK. He moved to Brixton in 1960 and started recording for Blue Beat label. He returned to Jamaica for a short while in 1963, often backed by The Skatalites. In the UK, in the meanwhile, he was issued on the new Rio label, which shortly after went bakrupt so Aitken joined the Pama group.

Marvin Gaye - This Love Starved Heart of Mine (It's Killing Me)

Killer tune by one of the greatest geniuses and artists this world has ever seen. This track was released on Tamla label, and is probably my favorite track by Marvin Gaye (excluding his duets, especially with Tammi Terrell). This can be found on the Tamla Motown compilation "Love Starved Heart", a collection of unreleased stuff recorded between 1963 and 1971.

Owen and Leon - Next Door Neighbour

This is usually credited to Owen and Leon Silvera, although some books report Owen to be Owen Grey instead. But then, again, books on Jamaican music, especially about back then, are often unreliable and information is scarce.
