Riding For A Fall; Run Run; Feel The Spirit; Get Ready; Troubled Man; True Believer // Ungrateful Baby; Run For Your Life; Gonna Make It (duet with Hortense Ellis); Conquer Me; Someone Gonna Cry; Impossible

Original Jamaican issue in UP (Uniprint) sleeve. ((Click sleeve to enlarge.))

Issued after Delroy Wilson had left Studio One to found the W&C label with Stranger Cole (in 1968), this album collects together 12 titles recorded at the Brentford Road studio and released as singles in Jamaica and the UK in the late 1960s. The catalogue number would suggest that the album was originally intended to be released in the UK as part of the esteemed 'Blue Coxsone' series (but which terminated with CSL 8018).

Trying To Conquer Me; Riding For A Fall; Run Run Free; Feel The Spirit; Get Ready; Troubled Man // True Believer; Ungrateful Baby; Run For Your Life; Gonna Make It (duet with Hortense Ellis); Someone Gonna Cry; Impossible

Released in the USA by United Artists as Vol.6 of the Anthology of Reggae Collectors Series. The same tracks as the original Jamaican vinyl release, but in a slightly different order. The distinctive sleeve was designed by Roy Guzman and Bill Burks and features an illustration by Steve Smith. ((Click sleeve to enlarge.))

Trying To Conquer Me; Riding For A Fall; Run Run Free; Feel The Spirit; Get Ready; Troubled Man // True Believer; Ungrateful Baby; Run For Your Life; Gonna Make It (duet with Hortense Ellis); Someone Gonna Cry; Impossible

The United Artists edition was reissued in the USA in 1985 on the Libert label. Thanks to Jumbo Shower for the sleeve and label illustrations. ((Click sleeve to enlarge.))

The full title of this expanded CD is THE BEST OF DELROY WILSON ORIGINAL EIGHTEEN DELUXE EDITION, and features the 12 tracks from the original vinyl album (with the 6:51 extended mix of Run Run) plus 6 bonus tracks.
