LET'S JOIN HANDS * MELODIANS * STUDIO 1 2013 * UK

Sung on the same rhythm as Save A Bread and containing the immortal line "Hate no man, and no man will hate you." The Melodians Let's Join Hands (Together) is a fine Rock Steady cut.

Released (with the title and group wrongly credited) as the B side to I Am Going To Cool It by Earl Lowe (also miscredited to the Gaylads) on the UK Studio 1 label and originally released in Jamaica on the Muzak City label. 

The Melodians: Tony Brevett, Brent Dowe and Trevor McNaughton, left Coxsone Dodd shortly after recording this and moved over to Dodd’s great rival Duke Reid where they recorded the same song with a distinctly different sound.
