Version Galore

The pioneer of toasting Ewart Beckford, better known by his stage name U Roy, is a Jamaican vocalist. He was bursting onto the Jamaican scene in the early 1970s with his typical rapping style of singing (toasting) over the rhythms and beats he created. He released his debut album 'Version Galore' in 1970, and it consists of his earliest songs, all recorded for Duke Reid's Treasure Isle label. Most recognizable is the song 'Tide Is High', originally by the Paragons and was later recorded by Blondie. Comes on 180 gram vinyl.
