"This collection of songs by The Uniques is the first release on Pressure Sounds to delve into the Rocksteady era, and we are thrilled that it from one of best groups of the period. The Uniques were possibly one of the greatest exponents of the genre and their lead singer Keith 'Slim'Smith was one of the most talented vocalists to have ever emerged from Jamaica. 'Slim' was to die tragically young in 1973. The Uniques occupy a very special place in the hearts of Jamaican music lovers with the high emotion packed, at times bordering on the hysterical, voice of 'Slim' Smith, their best remembered attribute. So popular was 'Slim' that many of their recordings as The Uniques have been subsequently released and credited to 'Slim' Smith. Produced by Bunny Lee this 15 track collection of songs is the most complete to be released so far. This is a beautifully packaged CD and we feel it is consistent with the high level of releases that we have established at Pressure Sounds."

Title:	Uniquely Yours
Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	SC 5274LP

"A decade before he was topping the country charts, Joe Stampley fronted one of the deep South's most legendary and rockin' '60s combos, the Uniques. Once signed to Shreveport, Louisiana-based Paula Records, the Uniques made waves nationally on their very first release, Not Too Long Ago. That pop classic (faithfully/recently covered by Nick Lowe) is just one of many highlights of their '66 debut LP, Uniquely Yours. According to the master tape, this record was originally going to be tagged The Uniques In Action; a shelved album title that could not have been more apt."
