BABY * THE HEPTONES * STUDIO ONE 2033 * UK

The flip side of the Sam Cook ballad Only Sixteen, also by the Heptones - a minor hit on the Southern England club scene - that, on this British issue, is credited to Alton Ellis; a situation that had fans mislead for years. This side has a very sharp and pronounced Rock Steady beat, so definite in fact that it almost becomes the hiccupping Reggae beat of a few years latter.
