Remarks	A late rock steady early reggae tune, where the band does not seem to know whether they are coming or going. This in turn seems to throw the Progressions off a little. It sounds like they wanted to sing it in a rock steady style, but the producer had other ideas. These kind of tunes are dotted throughout the history of the music. They need to be checked as stand-alone tunes - works in progress. The group only ever recorded for Kismet. The Progressions line up: Timmy George, Milton Henry & Anthony Russell The Alley Cats were: Bobby Aitken, Guitar; Vince White, Bass; Winston Grennan, Drums; Keith Sterling; Piano; Lester Sterling, Tenor Saxophone; Danny Simpson, Trombone The musicians on Summertime Rock were: Milton Henry, Guitar; Gitsy Wallace, Guitar; Ronnie "Bop" Williams, Guitar; Aston Family Man Barrett, Bass; Hugh Malcolm, Drums; Keith Sterling; Piano
