The Silvertones were steeped in the grand tradition of Jamaican vocal trios along with other greats such as The Heptones, The Abyssinians and The Kingstonians. Formed in 1964 by Delroy Denton, Keith Coley and Gilmore Grant, the group recorded under a variety of names in the ska and rocksteady era for Duke Reid's Treasure Isle and Coxsone Dodd's Studio One, before hooking up with producer Lee "Scratch" Perry. Originally released in 1973, The Silvertones' debut Silver Bullets was recorded at Perry's Black Ark studio with vocal tracks captured at King Tubby's Dromilly Avenue studio in a marathon, all-night session. While firmly planted in roots reggae, Silver Bullets' dense harmonies and relaxed vibe harken back to rocksteady. The album marks an interesting point in Jamaican music where the past and the future are visible in the grooves of a single LP-from classic rocksteady-tinged love songs like "That's When It Hurts" and "Rock Me In Your Soul" to the Rasta anthem "Rejoice Jah Jah Children." Antarctica Starts Here presents the first widely available domestic release of Silver Bullets. This reissue is part of an archival series that focuses on Trojan's essential '60s and '70s catalogue.
