First serious anthology of Lloyd Charmers' earliest productions. Twelve tracks new to CD. Features some of reggae music's greatest Jamaican performers. The late 60s and early 70s witnessed a transformation of the Jamaican music industry, with the global popularity of the new reggae sound opening the way for a host of ambitious independent record producers to make their mark on the local scene and shores beyond. Among this new breed of record-makers were a number of former recording artists whose influence on the future direction of reggae would prove profound, with their number including Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Winston 'Niney' Holness, Clancy Eccles, Derrick Harriott and the man whose early reggae productions are showcased on this set, Lloyd Charmers. 'Reggae In Wonderland' collects the cream of Charmers' early output as an independent producer from a fascinating period in Jamaican music history, during which reggae underwent a series of transformations that commenced with the driving rhythms of boss reggae and closed with a more measured style that echoed the rock steady sound of the late 60s. The recordings featured here are major hits and long forgotten rarities, performed by some of Jamaica's most accomplished artists, most notably Bob Andy, Ken Boothe, Dave Barker, Owen Gray, B. B. Seaton, Bobby Davis and of course Charmers himself. To quote the legendary Paul Nicholas, this is reggae like it used to be!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong About Now - Bruce Ruffin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal Real - Lloyd Robinson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome See About Me - Lloyd Charmers ; the Soul Stirrers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse in Session - Tommy Cowan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey Got to Move - Lloyd Robinson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Baby Why - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot Shot - Karl Bryan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrouble Trouble - Lloyd Robinson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast Laugh - the Jokers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sweeter She Is - the Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoggone Right - Bobby Davis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSindy - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSince I Lost My Baby - Bob Andy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour Him Father - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoing in Circles - Bobby Davis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Power - Lloyd ; Dave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby I Need Your Loving - Bob Andy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirth Control - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Gone - Lloyd ; Hortense\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Can't Get Next to You - the Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Love You Madly - Busty Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove I Madly - Bongo Tony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll Kinds of Everything - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalifornia Dreaming - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust As Long As You Need Me - Busty Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust My Imagination (Take 2) - Dave Barker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOh Me Oh My - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Should I Do - Dave Barker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoing in Circles - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCool and Easy - U Roy Junior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Woman - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReggae in Wonderland - Lester Williams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI've Gotta Get a Message to You - the Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEver Strong - Bongo Tony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkinhead Train - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife of a Millionaire - Dave Barker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRock Steady - the Marvels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravelling on - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummertime - Dave Barker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHumpty Dumpty - Bongo Tony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Big Unhappy Family (Part One) - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Big Unhappy Family (Part Two) - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarry's Mood - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe My Baby - the Marvels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne, Two, Three - Roy Shirley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlus One - Roy Shirley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaft - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRasta Never Fails - Lloyd ; Ken\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfrica Is Paradise - Lloyd ; B.B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwen Gray's Greatest Hits (Part 1) - Owen Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwen Gray's Greatest Hits (Part 2) - Owen Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe End - Lloyd Charmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust My Imagination (Take 1) - Dave Barker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5013929284449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Doctor Bird\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.12.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52220062892263,"sku":"503781","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1158\/5192\/files\/4340393-3181915.jpg?v=1783623678","url":"https:\/\/www.triathletestore.com\/products\/lloyd-charmers-friends-reggae-in-wonderland-the-splash-singles-1968-1973-cd","provider":"Triathlete Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
