SONG OF THE YEAR * SPARKERS * BLUE CAT 157 * UK
This is the B side to Drumbago's Dead, a short obituary in song, credited to Sam Sham, which is most certainly a pseudonym. Song Of The Year is a classy Early Reggae performance by a relatively unknown group, that has a dynamic and rocking rhythm with sweet harmonies sung in slower time over the top of it, very much like Pat Kelly's early Reggae recordings. Roger Dalke credits production to N. Reid; the Sparkers have two other sides released on the Blue Cat label Israel I Go A Live produced by N. Reid, and Dig It Up produced by R. Bennett.
