The Pioneers, Derrick Morgan & Desmond Dekker
Easy Come, Easy Go / Mercy Mercy
VERY LIMITED AND NOW SOLD OUT TROJAN RE-ISSUE - THIS RECORD IS THE NO. 223/400
The next title in Trojan’s series of unreleased limited edition 7” singles brings together two more Beverley’s Records gems that have lain hidden in the vaults for decades.
Now, more 40 years after both sides were cut, Trojan are delighted to finally make them available via the Trojan Store, with this pressing strictly limited to 400 copies, presented on the much-missed Doctor Bird imprint.
In late Spring of 1968, the Pioneers had not long left Joe Gibbs' roster when they attended their inaugural recording session for Leslie Kong's Beverley's Records.
Their efforts on that June day resulted a number of versions of a original song that the trio of George Agard, Jackie Robinson and Sydney Crooks hoped would become their next big hit, namely 'Easy Come, Easy Go'.
Despite the excellence of the performance, the track remained in the vaults and it was not until the trio revisited the song a month or so later that the producer felt confident of its release.
Issued in the Autumn of '68, the reworked version promptly became a significant Jamaican hit that was provide the platform for further assaults on the national charts, most notably the best-selling 'Long Shot Kick De Bucket' that saw issue the following Spring.
Meanwhile, back in June '68, the legendary Derrick Morgan and Desmond Dekker teamed up on a fine Rock Steady version of Don Covay's R&B smash, 'Mercy, Mercy, although this too was ultimately deemed surplus to requirements and remained unissued. Unlike 'Easy Come, Easy Go', however, it was never reworked by the duo, whose partnership proved disappointingly fleeting.
