The Destroyers do a bang up job on compass. Such a killer instrumental.
In mid-1970 Nicky Thomas' interpretation of The Winstons version of "Love of the Common People" resulted in a UK hit. The record reached number nine in the UK Singles Chart, leading in turn to a European tour and a relocation to the United Kingdom. By 1973 Thomas was being produced by Dandy Livingstone, releasing a third album called Images of You that included a version of his former Jamaican hit "Have a Little Faith" and a cover of Joe Simon's "Doing The Moonwalk".

This collection of work from the little-known Jamaican singer Nicky Thomas gathers most of his best songs in one package, including the wonderful title track "Love of the Common People," which, with its infectious island rhythm and thick string arrangement, practically defines the term pop reggae. One of his most important songs, however, is not included here, the derisive "BBC," a brave manifesto that rails at the way Radio 1 stations treated Jamaica's reggae artists.
