This version of Better Get Ready comes as a 1xCD. - Pat Kelly, out of all the Jamaican singers, was influenced most by the voice of American soul singer, Sam Cooke. As were indeed many of the singers from that time, few however could carry out this daunting task as well as Pat Kelly. His delivery was perfect and so was his ability to carry any song that came his way. Pat Kelly, born 1949 in Kingston, Jamaica, began his singing career in 1967 when he replaced Slim Smith as lead singer of The Techniques, his voice working so well with the impeccable harmonies of Winston Riley and Bruce Ruffin. Their first hit for the mighty Duke Reid stable was a version of Curtis Mayfield's tune "You'll Want Me Back" retitled "You Don't Care" which held the Number 1 slot in Jamaica for the six weeks. For this release, Kingston Sound have focused on material that Mr. Kelly had recorded with legendary Jamaican producer Bunny "Striker" Lee. A match made in heaven and one that produced some of their finest work. Tracks include "One In a Million", "One Man Stand", "Man Of My Word" and "I Started a Joke". So sit back and you better get ready for an albums worth of great songs sung and delivered as only the great Pat Kelly could.Track 15 to 18 cd bonus tracks."Better Get Ready" is a CD release by legendary Jamaican vocalist Pat Kelly, presented by the reissue-specialist label Kingston Sounds/Indigo. This collection gathers some of his most soulful and spiritually charged reggae recordings from the late rocksteady and early roots era, showcasing his unmistakable falsetto and effortless phrasing over warm, analogue-sounding rhythms. Listeners can expect a mix of love songs, heartfelt ballads and conscious tunes that reflect both the romantic and reflective sides of classic Jamaican music. The production emphasises melodic basslines, crisp guitar skanks and airy backing vocals, creating an intimate atmosphere that suits both focused listening and relaxed enjoyment.
