Private Beach Party

[edit]

The title track is probably my favorite Gregory tune of all time. Quintessential in his smooth, laid-back delivery and ability to create a romantic mood.--Chimino (talk) 13:38, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While Gregory was quite prolific in terms of recording in the 1980s for various reasons, many of his recordings from that era are still highly regarded by critics and writers, including this album. It's interesting (I think) that he released this in 1985 at a time when much Jamaican reggae was going digital. The coverage that I found is from some years later - it would be interesting if we could find some coverage from that era to see how it was regarded at the time.--Michig (talk) 15:26, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's tough to say, as in Jamaica albums are/were never really a focus of reggae fans; they're mainly recorded for purchases internationally. Where could we find reggae articles from the old days? Even the Gleaner doesn't keep most of its articles past a couple years...--Chimino (talk) 19:44, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Probably won't find much online but magazines such as Echoes would almost certainly have reviewed it. Finding copies from that era is likely to be difficult, though.--Michig (talk) 19:53, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
