1968
I WISH IT WOULD RAIN * TECHNIQUES * DUKE 1 * UK
The first two issues on the plum colour Duke label were from Duke Reid's Treasure Isle studios, after which the label began issuing various other producers work. The above was the A side of the first issue and features the voice of Pat Kelly as lead vocalist on an Early Reggae beat version of a Temptations song. As much as I like the original version, issued December 1967 on Gordy 7068, I think this, less polished version by the Techniques, is my favourite.
