USA CD release: Wailing Wailers At Studio One.
Produced by Clement Dodd The Wailers recorded at Jamaica Recording Studio One, Brentford Street 16, Kingston, Jamaica, the following songs:
1st Session, July 6th, 1964
Simmer Down
Written by Bob Marley. But Stephen Davis tells in his book that the writer of this song is Bunny Wailer (Conquering Lion Of Reggae, Page 42).
Lead vocals by Bob Marley.
Harmonies by Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Junior Braithwaite and Beverley Kelso.
Backing by The Skatalites.
Sax solo by Roland Alphonso.
A master tape bears the date July 6th, 1964, but unconfirmed reports claim its existance earlier that year. It seems, an earlier opinion, stated in the booklet of Songs Of Freedom, 1992, CD-Box, released on Island and in the booklet of One Love, 1991, 2-CD, released on Heartbeat about a recording of this song in December 1963 and a release around February 1964 is now understood as wrong.
