1967
I CAN'T DO NO MORE * MAX ROMEO AND THE EMOTIONS * CALTONE 106 * GB
An early recording by Maxwell Smith, a.k.a. Max Romeo with The Emotions, with music supplied by Tommy McCook and The Supersonics, produced by Ken Lack (former road manager of the Skatalites) for the Caltone label UK, and JA. The Caltone label was launched in the UK by R&B discs in 1967 and neatly coincided with the advent of Rock Steady, so, as the label only lasted for a year, most of the issues were on that rhythm. Bunny Lee was helping Lack out on productions at the time, which is evident in some of the issues, as it predates his own excellent Rock Steady productions such as, Run Come Dance by Glen Adams.
