1962

COME ON * MARTIN & DERRICK * ISLAND 024 * UK

As far as I can tell this rich vocal cut, on a bouncing Boogie rhythm, was the only track that 'Martin and Derrick' recorded for Coxsone, but who they are is a bit of a mystery. Derrick Harriott recorded for Dodd in 1959/60 so if the date is right it's not him, Derrick Morgan recorded for him in 1959 and again in 1965/6 yet, still it's probably him, but just who Martin is remains a mystery could it be (Martin Riley?); the next side is no help as its a track by Monty Alexandra and The Cyclones.
