Throughout the second half of 1964 and into the following year, Sugar & Dandy featured on a series of popular singles, followed by the release of the LP, ‘The Ska’s The Limit’, on which they were presented as the headline act. Dandy subsequently cut solo material for Carnival, but after the label was wound up in the summer of 65, he moved on to record for Jamaican music specialists, Melodisc and R&B before making his home at the newly created Trojan Records in 1968.

This collection focuses on Dandy’s formative years as a performer, featuring significant best-sellers, such as ‘What A Life!’, ‘Oh Dear What Can The Matter Be’, ‘I’m Not Crying Now’ and ‘Let’s Ska’, along with numerous obscurities that have remained unavailable on any format for six decades. As with the companion Doctor Bird volume, ‘Rock Steady With Dandy’, all recordings have been officially licensed from the singer himself, and with 24 of the 28 tracks new to CD this is a must-have acquisition for fans of the singer and the timeless sound of ska!
