Description
Lester Sterling’s “Afrikaan Beat” pairs a catchy Studio One instrumental with The Paragons’ rocksteady gem “My Satisfaction” on this Soul Jazz Records 7-inch reissue (SJR583-7).
A founding member of The Skatalites, Sterling brings his saxophone to a Jamaican interpretation of Bert Kaempfert’s kwela-inspired composition. Originally released in 1969, the recording also featured on Soul Jazz’s Studio One Scorcher.
On the flip, “My Satisfaction” supplies The Paragons’ vocal counterpoint, making this a rewarding double-sider for selectors exploring Studio One’s instrumental and vocal recordings.
With UK original pressings commanding collector prices of approximately €160–€470, this reissue offers a practical alternative to the vintage hunt. Released in September 2026 at 45 RPM, it’s a compelling addition for rocksteady collectors, Skatalites followers and anyone drawn to sax-led Jamaican grooves.
