congealedmeat This is a more mellow rocksteady adventure than the "Searching So Long" album, but it has some great tracks on it as well.

The Termites made some of the best rocksteady available.
Favorite track: Attractive Girl.

The Termites (Lloyd Parks and Wentworth Vernal) were a no-frills rocksteady duo whose harmonies lifted their songs, all of which were recorded at Studio One for producer Coxsone Dodd, into classics territory. Do the Rock Steady is essentially their collected work, and it includes their biggest hit, a plea for leniency from a landlord called "Have Mercy Mr. Percy." A wonderful collection of vintage rocksteady.
