Freedom Sounds (Vinyl 7")

The astonishing take of previously unpublished Rocksteady - this record reveals new facts about Studio One’s Ska and Rocksteady!

A few years after the Skatalites recorded the famous “Freedom Sounds”, the band had reconstructed as the Soul Brothers and this is the astonishing, previously unpublished take of them playing the Rocksteady version. By the look of the master-tape, it has never even been planned to be released as a single and it was kept especially for the LP release, which might have meant to be the Soul Brothers version of the Skatalites’ iconic “Ska Authentic” album. This seriously rare recording is a must-check for everyone from the beginners in Jamaican music to the Ska masters. As expected, we may never be able to measure the depth of the foundation studio.

Our Grading Standards
We grade all vinyl using the Goldmine standard:
Mint (M): Perfect, unplayed condition.
Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light signs of play but plays with minimal surface noise. The most common grade for collectable vinyl.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
Good (G): Heavy wear — for collectors only.

All records are graded visually and by play. Media and sleeve are graded separately.
