The Tennors were a Jamaican rocksteady and reggae vocal group in the 1960s and '70s. Do The Reggay Dance showcases the first time all (but one) of the featured songs have been on vinyl since they were first released on now impossibly rare 45 singles. The songs were mastered by legendary reissue engineer Gary Hobish and designed by Barbara Bersche, the designer behind last year’s Grammy-winning historic package Voices of Mississippi.
