"Delroy Wilson (1948-1994), one of Jamaica's best loved singers, got his start with Coxsone Dodd's legendary Studio One, scoring his first hit (1963's 'Joe Liges', written by Lee Perry) when he was just 15 years old. His career soon took off and he spent most of the decade recording numerous hits for Dodd, including 1966's 'Dancing Mood', which became one of the first rock steady singles and a monstrous number 1 seller. Despite his ongoing success, Wilson was restless for something new and soon began collaborating with Bunny Lee and Sonia Pottinger. In 1971 his 'Better Must Come'(produced with Bunny Lee) was so popular that it became the theme song for the People's National Party, helping them on to electoral victory. In 1976 he enjoyed yet another hit with Marley's Bob 's 'I'm Still Waiting'. This album, originally released in 1984, and recorded at Channel One and mixed at Joe Gibbs and Treasure Isle studios, features six excellent fully extended tunes, all featuring the unbeatable drums & bass of Sly & Robbie. Original artwork. 180 gram vinyl."

"Delroy Wilson -- known to many as the 'Cool Operator' -- carries one of Jamaica's finest voices. His songs set the time and place perfectly; 1970s Jamaica. Ska was his starting point, though, and from this he moved through rocksteady and finished up in the Jamaican charts for the best part of the '70s, working with such legends as Sly & Robbie and Bunny Lee. Hits from this period include 'Cool Operator,' 'Can I Change My Mind,' and 'Better Must Come' which became the anthem for Michael Manley's PNP Political Party."
