back in stock on vinyl. toots and the maytals may have been best known for singles such as 'pressure drop' (from the soundtrack to 'the harder they come'), but they started life as a sweet, doowop style ska band. 'never grow old', their debut album from 1963 features the clear harmonies of teenage toots soaring out over tight back-up from the maytals and don drummond's up-beat skatalities horn section. a blend of gospel, soul and the jamaican beat, songs such as the exuberant 'six and seven books of moses', the optimistic 'i'll never grow old' and 'sweet sweet johnny' ably show why toots was originally known as the jamaican otis redding. this is a fine debut.
