By the early Seventies, Clancy Eccles sat firmly atop the reggae tree, having enjoyed a succession of hits both in Jamaica and the UK, where the bulk of his productions had seen issue on Trojan's Clandisc subsidiary. To capitalise on the popularity of his work, the London based record company chose to launch their new Big Shot label LP range with a collection comprising a dozen of his lesser known tracks that had remained unissued since being recorded two to three years earlier. Unfortunately, due to the age of the material, the resultant "Top Of The Ladder" album sounded dated compared to the reggae sounds of the day, with poor sales of the long-player leading to it being pulled after an initial pressing run of just a few hundred copies. Although largely overlooked by record buyers at the time, the LP's scarcity, allied to the high quality of the music featured within it's grooves has since led to it becoming one of the most sought-after Trojan collections on the market. Unavailable on any format for almost half a century, "Top Of The Ladder" is finally available once more, with it's dozen tracks bolstered by over 40 Clancy Eccles-produced sides from the early Seventies - including the original reggae version of 'Kingston' Town' and many recordings new to CD!
