Both showcase his talent, with the tuff solo piece \u003cem\u003eTreasure Isle Skank\u003c\/em\u003e on the A-side and the risque duet with Nora Dean, \u003cem\u003eWhat Is Catty?\u003c\/em\u003e, on the B-side. In \u003cem\u003eTreasure Isle Skank\u003c\/em\u003e, U Roy rides a stripped-down version of the \u003cem\u003eLove Uprising\u003c\/em\u003e riddim in his signature style. This riddim, played by Tommy McCook \u0026amp; The Supersonics, is a reworking of Roy Richards’ \u003cem\u003eFreedom Blues\u003c\/em\u003e, which first came out in 1970 on the Coxson label. The title of the riddim originates from The Jamaicans’ 1970 track \u003cem\u003eLove Uprising\u003c\/em\u003e released by Treasure Isle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eU Roy \u0026amp; Nora Dean’s \u003cem\u003eWhat Is Catty?\u003c\/em\u003e is a well-crafted interpretation of the 1950s mento classic \u003cem\u003eBig Boy And The Teacher\u003c\/em\u003e, initially performed by Chin’s Calypso Sextet. While U Roy rose to fame as a celebrated Jamaican artist with international acclaim, Nora Dean’s musical journey didn’t yield similar success. Besides her 1970 solo hit \u003cem\u003eBarbwire\u003c\/em\u003e, she struggled to achieve notable recognition with her subsequent solo projects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"kingslandrecords","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60194537898318,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1058\/3474\/2094\/files\/e1ea5f_5b623254977d4e20a3cb816bbb8c9708_mv2.jpg?v=1784736552","url":"https:\/\/www.kingslandrecords.com\/products\/u-roy-u-roy-nora-dean-treasure-isle-skank-what-is-catty","provider":"Kingsland Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
