A. Tyrone Taylor - Cottage In Negrill B. Tyrone Taylor - Don't Destroy Me Label: Love + Inity – ND 001/2 Double 12" Spin explores the soulful side of reggae in this edition, showcasing the iconic Derrick Harriott and Tyrone Taylor with his timeless hit 'Cottage In Negrill'. Beginning his musical journey in the late 1960s, Tyrone Taylor was part of a wave of artists who thrived in the 1970s. Throughout his career, he worked with multiple influential producers such as Clancy Eccles, Jack Ruby, Joe Gibbs, Harry J, and Niney The Observer. His first album, 'Move Up Blackman', was recorded under the guidance of Jack Ruby. Although Tyrone had a strong presence in the late 1970s, it wasn't until the early 1980s that he achieved widespread fame with 'Cottage In Negrill', a song that resonated internationally. It is believed to express his sorrow over losing someone dear while doubling as a commentary on Jamaica's evolving political and social climate. A striking element in the track is the audible cocaine snorting halfway through. In 1983, an album bearing the same title was launched under the Love Time label, with Tyrone taking full creative control—acting as its producer, arranger, and songwriter. His next major chart appearance came in 1987 with 'Members Only'. While he continued to release albums and singles in the years that followed, they had minimal commercial impact. In the 1990s, Taylor made a return to his reggae foundations with the album 'The Way to Paradise', produced by Willie Lindo, and the popular track 'Rainy Sunset', produced by Clive Hunt. Though his songs were celebrated for their enduring appeal, his career was sadly eclipsed by personal struggles, including addiction and health complications, which left him dependent on a wheelchair in his final years. He succumbed to prostate cancer on 1 December 2007 at the age of 50. A. Derrick Harriott - La La Means I Love You B. Dean "Youth Sax" Fraser - La La Means I Love You (Instrumental) Label: Crystal Records - 2013 Born on 6 February 1939 in Kingston, Jamaica, Derrick Clifton Harriott is a celebrated singer and record producer whose contributions have been vital in the evolution of ska, rocksteady, and reggae. He launched his musical career in the late 1950s as part of The Jiving Juniors, finding success with tracks such as 'Lollipop Girl' and 'Over The River'. After the group's dissolution, he transitioned into a prosperous solo career and gained prominence as a respected producer. Derrick Harriott established his own record label, Crystal Records, alongside the shop and distribution outlet Derrick's One Stop. He later expanded his ventures with the labels Move & Groove and Crystal D. In 1971, Swing Magazine honored him as the Top Producer of 1970. Throughout his career, he collaborated with artists such as Dennis Brown, The Kingstonians, Keith & Tex, The Ethiopians, Big Youth, Rudy Mills, and The Chosen Few. His productions played a pivotal role in the transition from ska to rocksteady and, later, to reggae. Additionally, he was behind one of the earliest dub albums, 'Scrub-A-Dub', released under the name Derrick & The Crystallites. Beyond his achievements in production, Derrick Harriott made a name for himself with several hit songs, including 'The Loser', 'Do I Worry', 'Walk The Streets', and 'Solomon'. His 1979 album 'Born To Love You' includes 'La La Means I Love You', which we are showcasing here. As the 1980s progressed, his presence in the industry diminished, while many of his past works saw re-releases through different labels. In tribute to his impact on Jamaican music, Derrick Harriott received the prestigious Order of Distinction from the Jamaican government in 2009. His influence was further acknowledged in 2019 when the Jamaica Reggae Industry Association (JaRIA) awarded him a Lifetime Achievement Award in Music, cementing his status as a reggae icon. The 12" single features Derrick’s rendition of 'La La Means I Love You' by The Delfonics, incorporating the distinctive sound of syndrums—an immensely popular effect at the time. On the B-side, a young Dean Fraser showcased his brilliance in the instrumental version. Could Dean have already sensed that he was destined to become one of Jamaica’s most in-demand session musicians and a respected producer?
