Reissue of a very rare 1965 album, gathering Sonia Potiinger’s earliest productions with 12 tracks including Baba Brooks and The Techniques!
"When Sonia Pottinger's husband Lindon broke up their marriage and quit the fledgling Jamaican music industry, Sonia quickly stepped up to the plate and began producing records herself, becoming the sole female in a very male-dominated field. Harnessing trumpeter Baba Brooks as chief musical arranger, Pottinger worked from an intuitive perspective and quickly became a formidable presence on the Kingston music scene. "Gay Feet" was the first album she ever issued and is here given a long overdue re-release in the original form. It veers between such tear-jerking ballads as The Techniques' "Heartaches" and the massively successful "Every Night" (by vocal duo Joe White & Chuck, to Latiny instrumentals from Baba Brook's band such as "Mosquito Jump Up", "Ki Salavoca" and "Bugle Boy", the latter borrowing from El Manicero. Despite the short length of the album, there is plenty to discover here." (David Katz for MOJO - four stars out of five possible)
