Our Take

The Kingstonians' "Sufferer" (Expanded Edition) is a masterclass in rocksteady reggae, showcasing the band's infectious rhythms and soulful vocals. Originally released in 1970, this reissue breathes new life into the classic album, giving listeners the opportunity to experience the Kingstonians' timeless sound once again.

From the moment the needle drops on the opening track "Sufferer," you are transported back to the golden age of reggae, with its smooth grooves and heartfelt lyrics. The band's harmonies are on point throughout, creating a sense of unity and emotion that is impossible to resist.

Standout tracks like "Hold Down" and "Nice Nice" showcase the Kingstonians at their best, blending catchy melodies with a social consciousness that is still relevant today. The addition of bonus tracks on this expanded edition only adds to the album's allure, giving fans a deeper dive into the band's discography.

While the production may be stripped back compared to modern standards, it only adds to the album's charm, allowing the Kingstonians' raw talent to shine through. Overall, "Sufferer" (Expanded Edition) is a must-listen for reggae fans old and new, proving that good music truly does stand the test of time. So, grab your favourite drink, kick back, and immerse yourself in the smooth sounds of the Kingstonians - you won't regret it.
