The Beltones were a vocal group that recorded for Coxsone Dodd, Harry Johnson, and Sonia Pottinger during the rocksteady and early reggae years. Their most famous release was undoubtedly “No More Heartaches,” released in 1968 on the Harry J imprint in Jamaica and Trojan in the UK. This great Duke double-sider was also produced by Harry Johnson and features Trevor Shields on lead vocals, backed by Keith Mitchell and Owen Laing.

Thanks to Trevor Shields for the corrections from my original post and for the additional information.

And now for the other side of “I Need Your Loving.” “Buttoo” is a great uptempo reggae tune with a deep bass line that gallops along. Plus any song that has lyrics about miniskirts is tops in my book…although these ladies are apparently not all that!

“I Need Your Loving” is the B-Side of Buttoo, a scorching double-sider released in 1969 on the Blue Cat label (A-Side spelled “Bettoo” on the UK issue). This Rupie Edwards produced gem features a young Gregory Isaacs and on vocals, joined by Penro Bramwell. The horns and vocals are an excellent compliment to one another, and while the rhythm is fast, the lyrics and feeling of the tune is pure sweetness.

The Concords issued a few other tracks, including Don’t Let Me Suffer and Red Sun Rise (Success RE 904, 1970; also released with same sides on JA Success). All sides are worth a listen.

“I Need Your Loving” on Blue Cat in VG+ condition will probably run about 60 GBP. The same sides were released on JA Success, and the pre-release can be picked up for substantially cheaper ($40 to $60 USD).
