Tomorrow's Children

"Bang Bang Rock Steady"

From Merritone Rock Steady 3: Bang Bang Rock Steady 1966–1968

Active in Jamaica in the late 1960s and early 70s, reggae and rocksteady band Tomorrow’s Children were notable for their ambitious cover versions spread across three albums and a handful of singles, beginning on Ken Khouri’s Federal label. This new revival comes courtesy of renowned Tokyo record shop and label Dub Store, who have reissued definitive editions of old school material by foundational reggae and dancehall labels including Studio One, Jammy’s, Solomonic, Kiddus I and Firehouse and many more over the last decade.
