True Confessions Riddim – Treasure Isle

True Confessions Riddim – Treasure Isle brings together Duke Reid’s 1966 production for the Treasure Isle label, anchored by The Silvertones with Tommy McCook and The Supersonics on True Confession and later cut again by U-Roy in 1969. The original ska-flavoured side carries that crisp Treasure Isle sound, with McCook’s band giving the vocal a bright, tight instrumental lift, while U-Roy’s version shows how the tune could carry into the deejay era without losing its identity. It’s a small but telling set that captures one song moving across Jamaican styles, with Duke Reid’s studio touch and the Silvertones’ harmonies at the center of it.
