After launching his Beverley's Records label in the early 1960s, Leslie Kong quickly established a reputation as being one of the sharpest operators in the Jamaican music business. By the close of the decade he had exceeded all expectations for a Kingston-based record producer after releasing a number of recordings that not only topped the local charts, but also breached pop listings around the world. The hit-rate continued into the 1970s, as Kong's tight and breezy production style ensured such esteemed acts as the Maytals, the Melodians, the Pioneers, Desmond Dekker and Jimmy Cliff all made the UK mainstream charts. In the autumn of 1970, Trojan Records released Hot Shots Of Reggae, showcasing a dozen of the producer's most popular recordings from the preceding months. The strikingly designed album swiftly became one of the company's best sellers, yet despite it's popularity has remained unissued in any format since it's original release. That oversight has finally been addressed and here, at long last, is the glorious LP in it's entirety, with the original dozen tracks augmented by a further 13 Kong-produced recordings from the glorious, golden age of reggae.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Freedom Street - Ken Boothe \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Sweet Sensation - the Melodians \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Monkey Man - the Maytals \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Why Baby Why - Ken Boothe \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Cotton Dandy - Ansel Collins ; the Beverley's All Stars \u003cbr\u003e1.6 So Much Love - Joe White \u003cbr\u003e1.7 She's My Scorcher - the Maytals \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Simmer Down Quashie - the Pioneers \u003cbr\u003e1.9 There's a Fire - the Gaylads \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Show Me the Way - Delroy Wilson \u003cbr\u003e1.11 This Time I Won't Hurt You - the Gaylads \u003cbr\u003e1.12 I'm the One - Bruce Ruffin \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Drums of Freedom - Ken Boothe \u003cbr\u003e1.14 High Voltage - Ansel Collins \u003cbr\u003e1.15 I'll Need You Tomorrow - the Kingstonians \u003cbr\u003e1.16 (Heavy Load) Don't Get Weary - Carl Dawkins \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Double Shot - Beverley's All Stars \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Lick It Back - the Clarendonians \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Jaga Jaga War - the Wanderers \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Night of Love - Ansel Collins \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Hoola Bulla - the Slickers \u003cbr\u003e1.22 Gimme Gimme Gal (Banana Water) - the Mellotones \u003cbr\u003e1.23 Wiggle Waggle - the Wanderers \u003cbr\u003e1.24 Moon Dust - Ansel Collins \u003cbr\u003e1.25 Dry Up Your Tears - Bruce Ruffin\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43664404709443,"sku":"33752754","price":5.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9847\/3539\/files\/3737722.jpg?v=1786583891","url":"https:\/\/sonirecords.com\/products\/various-artists-hot-shots-of-reggae-expanded-edition-various","provider":"MAILE LOR60x16RAINE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
