This Is Derrick Morgan (2025 Reissue)

The set you have here was first released in 1974 when reggae was king, the album carried the name ‘In The Mood’ but also had the working title ‘This Is Derrick Morgan’. A title in the world of Reggae carrying the ‘This is’ moniker, would normally be used to introduce a new singer and be his showcase album. In this case it could be used to re-introduce the singer Derrick Morgan to the new reggae sound. But we feel someone of Derrick’s calibre needs no introduction as his voice works on any rhythms put his way.

For the CD release we had added some of Mr Morgan’s duets, ‘I’m Gone’ sung alongside Hortense Ellis and ‘Feel So Good’, So Long Baby’ that he cut with Paulette. His hit ‘The Conqueror’ and the Rocksteady style ‘Greedy Gal’. These songs seem to fit with the original album tracks and add an extra flavour to the mix.
