Cornell Campbell
MY DESTINATION
(LP)
12 Inch

The mighty Falsetto voice of Mr Cornell Campbell is another we believe, unsung hero of the Jamaican music scene.
Who in our opinion should have broke through to a wider audience, than his cult status currently provides. We have unearthed straight from the master tapes an album that was due for release around the mid 70"s. A few of these cuts, found their way out on limited 7"s, that were mainly for the domestic Jamaican market. But as a complete body of work, never found a release until now. We hope like us, once you have played the tracks, you will feel that this set of cuts, stands up amongst Cornell"s finest work. Cornell Campbell (born 1948, Jamaica), made his first recordings in the early 1960"s for Coxone Dodd at Studio 1. Tracks like "Under the Old Oak Tree", "My Treasure" and later as a duo with Roy Patton "Salvation" and "Sweetest Girl", were local hits on the Jamaican Sound Systems. A short spell with the Uniques was followed by his roll as lead vocalist with the Eternals, under the monicker of Don Cornell. Their finest moment being the classic "Stars / Queen of the Minstrels" cuts which still stand up today as some of Jamaica"s finest.[info sheet from distr.]
