If You Were Only Mine / Bellevue Special

"If You Were Only Mine" is one of Tanamo's signature songs. A lovely ska vocal that begins with a beautiful flowing and gentle horn theme. A wonderful song backed by Skatalites in their heyday. Coupling is Don Drummond's killer ska. ``Bellevue'' is the name of the psychiatric hospital where Don Drummond, who was arrested for the murder of his girlfriend Margarita on New Year's Day 1965, stayed until his death in 1969. The sad last recording of the greatest trombonist in Jamaica's history, who was given the name of a genius. Don's heartbreaking cries can be heard along with another take of "No More" recorded on the album.
