THE CIMARONS The Cimarons are a UK reggae band formed in 1967. They were the UKs first self-contained indigenous reggae band. Jamaican natives, the Cimarons migrated to Britain in 1967 with a lineup consisting of Franklyn Dunn (bass), Carl Levy (keyboards), Locksley Gichie (guitar), and Maurice Ellis (drums); vocalist, Winston Reid (better known as Winston Reedy) joined in 1973. They were primarily session musicians and backed many artists, including Jimmy Cliff. Their first LP In Time, on Trojan Records in 1974 featured a rendition of the OJays Ship Ahoy, Utopian Feeling, Over The Rainbow, and My Blue Heaven. Vulcan Records released On The Rock two years later. They switched to Polydor Records, releasing Live at The Roundhouse in 1978. Polydor released Maka the same year. Three more albums followed: Freedom Street, Reggaebility and On The Rock Part 2. After the last of these, in 1983, they didnt surface again until 1995 when Lagoon Records released People Say and Reggae Time, both compilations of earlier albums, followed by The Best of The Cimarons, released in 1999 on Culture Press. ~ Wikipedia #stockadepromotions
