Songlines, 2019 October
"Stunning 1968 rock steady album with extra tracks ... The Ethiopians were among the first Jamaican artists to signal their pride in Africa. They then achieved the remarkable feat of spending six weeks in the UK Top 100 over 1967's 'Summer of Love' with their single 'Train to Skaville' ... In Jamaica, The Ethiopians were equally popular and thus they were given the then rare opportunity to record an album. Alongside 'Train to Skaville' were nine other tracks, all of them storming rocksteady numbers with the title-track, 'Engine 54', being another gorgeous train-themed tune ... What makes this CD essential is the 17 (yes, 17!) extra tracks that follow the original album ... This is Jamaican music at its simplest and most elegiac; the duo's voices soar to the heavens on ballads ('My Love') then roar over jerky dance rhythms ('Train to Glory'). Fifty-two years on these historic recordings sound as enchanting as the single that first captivated the Jamaican and British public. Superb sleeve notes add to the package"

"This compilation neatly dovetails with the Reggae Power/Woman Capture Man set to provide a thorough overview of the Ethiopians' early work. Though Dillon was clearly the driving creative voice, his partnership with Taylor was magic and Stephen's tragic death in 1975 brought the first period of the Ethiopians to a sad close. The Rocksteady era was when they made their name and on hearing Engine 54 it is clear that their joyful abandon, innovation and vocal talent set them up for deserved success. It all still sounds so fresh to these ears, Rocksteady heaven indeed"
