If I Had A Pair Of Wings: Jamaican Doo Wop Vol. 2

Vinyl.  Second volume of Jamaican Doo Wop and R&B records taken from the late '50s and early '60s.  These records represent a period in which soundsystems were just starting to dominate the island, with Duke Reid and Sir Coxsone stepping up their rivalry by beginning to make and release their own records, rather than rely on US imports for use in their dances.  Many of these records are definitely more-or-less imitations of the American records, as the uniquely Jamaican Ska sound was yet to take hold.
