MOVING ON | VINYL RECORD (LP)

Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release. Two summers ago, Roy and Yvonne got together on a stage again after 45 years dedicated to their personal lives away from their artistic careers. Moving On invites us to dive deep into the great sounds of ska and rocksteady music. For this occasion, Roy and Yvonne worked with some fabulous studio musicians under the direction of Teddy Garcia in Washington DC. Mixed by the renowned producer Mike Mariconda, you can enjoy eight covers and two original songs on this album that the artists have carefully selected for your listening pleasure. The songs stand out for their intriguing composition and arrangements adapted to Jamaican rhythms. Our time travel commences with the first sounds in the album. The opener shuffle 'Surely I Love You' is followed by 'My Baby' and 'Ooh La La'. 'My Jealous Eyes' gives way to the lovely rocksteady 'Someday'. 'You Brought Me Back To Life' is another great rocksteady track sung by Yvonne Harrison. The two original songs 'Moving On' and 'You Say No' deserve a special mention, with the former being the name giver to the album. After this journey through different grooves, Mr. Panton waves goodbye with the fearless reggae rhythm 'I Dig You Baby', he did not have much opportunity to highlight this style in his career, but it shows once again the courage, passion and dedication with which he continues to exceed his fans' expectations with new and danceable rhythms. 'Moving On' is a talisman that will surely bring more and new success to Roy and Yvonne. You hold in your hands the first studio album recorded by the duo throughout their career. And from this day, it has already become a classic and a collector's item.
