Limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on orange coloured
180-gram audiophile vinyl. Reggae Charmers is the 1970 album by Lloyd
Charmers, born Lloyd Tyrell. His career spans some of the most fertile
periods of Jamaica's musical history. From the late-'50s era of Jamaican
shuffle R&B and the subsequent ska boom, to the rocksteady and
roots reggae of the late '60s and early '70s, Charmers made valuable
contributions not only as a vocalist, but as a session musician and
producer, as well. Charmers took up the piano in 1966. A few years
later, he was an accomplished enough player to form a band of his own
with a few friends. The band eventually backed Ken Parker, Max Romeo,
Pat Kelly, John Holt, and Slim Smith & the Uniques (Charmers would
also spend some time singing for the Uniques). Buoyed by their
reputation for laying down some of the rawest and driving rhythms of the
time. Charmers is joined by Byron Lee and the Dragonaires on this
record, that is a must for all true fans of vintage Jamaican sounds.
