Queen Majesty - The Uniques

Minstrel and Queen was a Curtis Mayfield song that became a huge Jamaican rocksteady hit for Pat Kelly and the Techniques. This version is based on that cover. Bunny Lee reformed The Uniques in the late 70s, replacing the tragic Slim Smith with Cornell Campbell.

Where the hell did you get this recording from?? I can't get it anywhere lol!

Awesome track though. Better than the techniques. Are you sure this is the Uniques though?

The source records are shown in the clip. I have it on 600% Dynamite, a compilation from Soul Jazz Records, but it came out in 1978 on an LP called Uniques - Showcase Vol.1. The other tracks on that were in this style too, pure Channel One rockers.

The group was The Uniques in name only. I think only Jimmy Riley remained from the classic line up. It could easily have been issued as a Cornell Campbell solo record.
