Last Train To Expo ’67 Riddim – Various Labels

Last Train To Expo ’67 produced by Duke Reid, Bunny Striker Lee, Tesfa McDonald, Blackbeard, The Jays for Rosie Uprising, Treasure Isle, Fat Man, Tesfa, Hulk, Gorgon in 1967

Last Train To Expo ’67 Riddim brings together a roots-era cut led by Duke Reid and Treasure Isle, alongside later versions linked to Bunny Striker Lee, Tesfa McDonald, Blackbeard and The Jays across labels like Fat Man, Tesfa, Hulk and Gorgon. The original anchor is The Melodians’ Last Train To Expo ’67 from 1967, with U-Roy’s Super Boss and Do Re Mi, Delroy Wilson’s Talk Too Much, and the dub versions adding extra weight to the set. It plays like a cross-section of the rhythm’s life after the first cut, moving from Treasure Isle rocksteady into tougher 1970s and early ’80s reinterpretations.
