Twinkle Brothers - Rasta Pon Top (The First Album)

1LP Vinyl - NG 532

Rasta Pon Top contains a string of superb songs where traditional roots reggae riddims – some jaunty, others more laidback – come accompanied by sweet lead vocals and even sweeter harmony backing vocals. This classic collection of conscious roots reggae tunes, takes off with the, at the time, previous released single, the delicious Give Rasta Praise. The next two tracks can be regarded to be the odd ones out here. For Natty Dread Uptown, an interpretation of the disco stomper Shame Shame Shame by Shirley & Company, and funky dancefloor rocker Jah Jah Gonna Get You, the Twinkle Brothers blended traditional roots riddims with a disco sound and thus these two tracks have echoes of the kind of music they once played in the hotels for the tourists.
