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.

First compilation to focus on the final works of Duke Reid’s legendary label. 35 tracks new to CD. Includes numerous Jamaican hits by some of reggae music’s finest

By 1973, Duke Reid’s Treasure Isle Records had been a dominating force on the Jamaican music scene for over a decade. Renowned for the consistently high standard of its productions and musicianship, the label had become a byword for quality, as evidenced by the music collected on this set: the first ever compilation to focus on its output during its final two years as a fully functioning independent operation.

In ’75, Reid’s declining health along with his dislike for roots reggae brought about the sale of his record company and studio to Sonia Pottinger, so effectively bringing the Treasure Isle story to an end.

Featured on this 2CD set are numerous Jamaican hits, performed by some of the island’s finest artists, their number including Pat Kelly, BB Seaton, Tinga and Roman Stewart, as well as popular Bajan singer, Smokey 007, whose irresistible version of the title track breached charts around the globe.

With all but seven of the tracks previously unavailable on CD, Never Ending Songs Of Love is an essential purchase for both fans of classic reggae and Treasure Isle completists!
