1969
TWELFTH OF NEVER * PAT KELLY * UNITY 511 *GB

When the above was issued Max Romeo had the 'million' seller Wet Dream which could be the reason why this excellent early reggae track was credited to him, and not Pat Kelly. Or maybe Kelly was still under contract as lead singer with the Techniques and was trying to branch out solo but needed to remain anonymous. Whatever the reason it's a superb track with Pat Kelly singing a slow love ballad over a fast and complex rhythm.
