Dance Crasher produced by Duke Reid, Blackbeard, Freddie McGregor, Noel Browne, Dalton Browne for Treasure Isle, Nura in 1965
Dance Crasher Riddim – Treasure Isle, Nura brings together three versions of the same classic groove, led by Alton Ellis’ 1965 original and later cuts by Freddie McGregor and The Tamlins. The rhythm is rooted in Duke Reid’s Treasure Isle era, with the Nura connection tied to the later Black Beard-produced treatment, and the compact tracklist keeps the focus on the title song rather than filler. It leans into that early ska-to-rocksteady transition, with Ellis’ cut carrying the unmistakable sound that helped define Treasure Isle’s golden run.
