Derrick Harriott & The Crystalites – Psychedelic Train

1970 – Damage on Top Left of Cover.

During the late 1960s, a select number of independent Jamaican music makers successfully challenged the island’s recording industry giants and of these, few proved more talented or influential than Derrick Harriott. By the close of the decade, Harriott had produced a succession of local hits on his Crystal and Move and Groove imprints, and in 1970 a dozen of his most popular rock steady and reggae works to date were gathered on what proved to be one of Trojan Records’ most popular LPs of the year: Psychedelic Train.
