Out of the press! Main Attraction "Jam Up"

Emerging from the University of the West Indies (UWI) in Jamaica during the late 1970s, Main Attraction was a group of talented singers whose music captured the social and political energy of their time. With a sound that blended reggae and soulful ballads, their songs were both a reflection and a response to the challenges of the era.

The group originally featured Sonia Copeland, a gifted writer, arranger, and back-up singer, alongside Sharon Jones, whose velvet voice led many of their reggae tracks. They were joined by Allison Smith, Marjorie Smith, and Shahiba Ali, forming the group’s first lineup. As time passed, Michelle Thompson and Lileth O’Connor joined, further enriching the group’s dynamic harmony.

Main Attraction’s musical journey began with their debut recording, a cover of Once Upon a Time, produced by David Haughton under the management of Clayton Downie. Later, with Owen Palmer as their manager and producer, the group expanded their horizons, performing in cabaret gigs with the band Mind Benders and embarking on an overseas tour that showcased their talent in New York City. While Sharon Jones led reggae tracks like Jam Up, Allison Peart and Shahiba Ali brought their soulful touch to R&B songs, creating a rich, versatile repertoire that captivated audiences.

Jam Up was the group’s first original recording, composed and arranged by Sonia Copeland. Performed as part of the Reggae Song Competition during Carnival in 1978, the song is a rallying cry for unity and progress. With powerful lyrics and a Shaka rhythm, Jam Up calls on Jamaicans to come together, strive for economic growth, and uplift the nation collectively.

Sonia’s vision was clear: that Jamaicans from all walks of life would find inspiration in the song’s message, motivating them to improve their standard of living and contribute to the country’s growth and prosperity. Decades later, the lyrics remain just as relevant — a timeless call to action for social and economic strength.
Hold this record in your hands, let the music play, and feel the enduring power of reggae music to transform, uplift, and connect.

The second song on The Best of the Wailers was written and is sung by Peter Tosh. At this time Peter was becoming more involved with solo projects as a singer and as a musician on piano, organ and melodica. He sings "Stop the train, I'm leaving. It won't be too long, whether I'm right or wrong."

Peter would later admit he sang this song as a way of admitting to himself it was time to move on and "stop decorating Bob's music."

Soon he would leave the Wailers but here he shines in an excellent mid-tempo performance.

The Wailers end their tremendous album The Best of the Wailers released in April 1971 but recorded in May 1970 with this wonderful song "Do It Twice". They certainly go out on a high note here with Bob singing lead and Peter and Bunny on harmony. To recapitulate--this was the first Jamaican album that was not simply a collection of singles, but rather a carefully put together album with songs reflecting the current state of mind of the three Wailers. It was probably influenced by concept albums like the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and the Rolling Stones' Their Satanic Majesties Request which were well known in Jamaica.
