A deep‑dive into the golden era of Jamaican rock steady, Keep The Pressure On is the third instalment in Music On Vinyl’s exclusive Trojan compilation series. Compiled by Laurence Cane‑Honeysett — who also provides the liner notes — this set focuses on the influential Beverley’s label catalogue from 1966–1967, a pivotal period when rock steady became Jamaica’s dominant sound. Featuring Desmond Dekker & The Aces, Derrick Morgan, Roland Alphonso & The Beverley’s All‑Stars, The Spanishtonians and more, these 28 tracks showcase the label’s superior musicianship and its role as one of Kingston’s leading studios. Pressed on 180‑gram audiophile vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve, this limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies comes on vibrant orange coloured vinyl.
