Blue Beat left a remarkable legacy, releasing more than 400 singles in its seven-year lifespan and exerting an influence out of proportion to its size. We pick up the story in 1962, when a ready-made audience for Jamaican pop existed in London. Since the late Forties, considerable numbers of Afro-Caribbean immigrants, the majority from Jamaica, had been arriving in the city. Plus there was the growing Mod movement, style-obsessed young men who loved black music. Blue Beat was eminently danceable and still largely unknown to the general public, important qualities for Mods.
