This is a interesting LP for reggae fans. There are 2 tunes on this album that became rock steady/reggae standards "Dancing Mood" & "Riding For A Fall" (Delroy Wilson had a massive hits using these tunes). There is also another tune on this LP that was covered by Derrick Harriott, "Do I Worry". The rock-steady version of "Do I Worry" by Harriott happens to be one of my favorite 60's JA tunes.

I may be biased when I listen to The Tams original versus the JA covers, the JA covers sound WAY more soulful. I can hear where the JA artists may have been influenced by The Tams, but IMHO the Jamaicans turn these tunes into something much deeper than the originals, which I consider light-weight, mainstream soul from the early 60's.
