Tear Drops - Freddie McKay

Freddie is one of those artists whose work you don’t fully appreciate until you compile his work like this, only then do you realise his consistent quality of voice & song writing skills .
I’ve called this compilation Tear Drops because it’s a song he has returned to throughout his career ,I’ve included 3 cuts but I know of at least one more he did for Phil Pratt ( I don’t have a copy !) ,anyway here’s some tunes he did from early in his career as Freddie McLean in the ‘60’s to the early ‘80’s

01 - Susan
02 - Since I Met You
03 - Just A Little Bit
04 - Darling Ooh
05 - Tear Drops
06 - Tears Won't Help
07 - Dream My Life Over
08 - Where Have You Been
09 - Go On This Way

Workman Song - Various

This compilation was inspired by a fellow Reggae fan asking if I had a copy of the title track ,I said I had & offered to send a copy I thought it a waste just to send one track on a CD so I filled the Cd with tracks from some fanatastic JA vocal groups I hope you enjoy it

Island 45's Vol 3

Island records of course were a pioneering label in the UK and these Red & White labels were sought after by all the early collectors so here's a sample of what you might hear. JA music purists may point out that track 15 from Earl Bostic was not a JA tune but I've included it in here because the first 2 volumes of this series included a few non JA cuts so I just followed suit ,on saying that its still a great tune
