Doctor Bird

Doctor Bird is a music label that was founded in the UK by Graeme Goodall, an Australian sound engineer and original shareholder of Island Records. The label was revived by Trojan Records in 1970 for three releases before being relaunched in 2017 as a division of Cherry Red Records. Doctor Bird specializes in vintage Jamaican sounds licensed from the catalogue of Trojan Records.
Graeme Goodall played a significant role in the Jamaican music scene, engineering sessions at various studios and producing countless recordings during the ska era. He also formed other labels such as Pyramid Records and Attack to promote reggae music. Despite relocating to Atlanta, Georgia in the 1970s, Goodall continued his involvement with music until his passing in 2014.
Today, Doctor Bird continues to bring Jamaican rocksteady and other vintage sounds to music enthusiasts worldwide through their curated selection of releases. With its rich history and dedication to preserving iconic Jamaican music, Doctor Bird remains a respected authority on this genre.

Expanded version of one of the most popular reggae albums of all time. Features recordings new to CD. Booklet contains extensive Harry Johnson bio and rare memorabilia imagery. After launching his career as an independent producer in 1968, Harry Johnson swiftly made his mark as one of Jamaica’s most capable and demanding music makers. An array of popular singles ensued and after just 12 months in the business, he hit the jackpot with his first international hit, Liquidator. Performed by some of Jamaica’s premiere session musicians, the record peaked at number 5 in the autumn of 1969, with its success promptly followed by an immensely popular long-player of the same name. The seminal boss reggae instrumental collection is now further enhanced with a dozen bonus tracks from Harry Johnson’s eponymously named All Stars band.
