Sixteen tracks recorded under the direction of Clement "Coxsone" Dodd at Studio One, probably from the late '60s and early '70s.

Studio One maintained an extremely consistent track record during this era, and the Heptones, though not the very best Jamaican harmonizers, were certainly in the top league. So it comes as no surprise to find Sea of Love a fine collection of rocksteady cuts, including quality originals and soulful covers of hits by Curtis Mayfield, Aretha Franklin, and the Righteous Brothers. Especially sweet is the version of "I Shall Be Released," one of the finest overlooked Bob Dylan covers. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
