Alton Ellis - Many Moods Of

A lush, rhythmic journey through one of reggae’s most soulful pioneers, The Many Moods Of captures Alton Ellis in his element. This delightful vinyl brings to life gems like “Rocksteady Time,” “Cry Tough,” and the tender ballad “Ain’t That Loving You,” showcasing his rich baritone and heartfelt delivery.

Each side is a feast: Side A sets the mood with smooth, early rocksteady grooves, while Side B dips into deep lovers rhythms and rootsy vibes. The production is crisp, and the pressing accentuates every warm horn stab and mellow bassline.

Whether you’re a long-time Ellis fan or new to his catalog, this record is a sweet serenade for sun-drenched afternoons and late-night sways. It’s a timeless slice of Jamaican soul that deserves pride of place in your collection.
