The fourth instalment in Music On Vinyl’s exclusive Trojan compilation series, Intensified Sounds dives into the Beverley’s label catalogue during the pivotal 1967–1968 period — a time when rock steady fully cemented itself as Jamaica’s national sound. Compiled by Laurence Cane‑Honeysett, who also provides the liner notes, this double‑LP set showcases 28 essential sides from Desmond Dekker & The Aces, The Maytals, Derrick Morgan, Roland Alphonso & The Beverley’s All‑Stars, Austin Faithful and more. 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.
