WAKE THE TOWN * U ROY * DUKE REID 2509 * UK
U Roy with one of the first DJ releases released by Duke Reid, it is said that this track was so popular in JA that buyers actually cued-up outside the studio to ensure getting a copy! The 'Toast' is over Alton Ellis' I've Got A Date. Not satisfied with only waking the town U Roy was to visit the theme again with a call to Wake The Nation; Dennis Alcapone was no less ambitious with his Wake Up Jamaica.
