The Young Ones of Guyana - Reunion (2019)

Recorded in Toronto Canada and self released in 1973, ‘Reunion’ is the rare second (and final) album by ‘The Young Ones Of Guyana’, reissued for the first time by BBE Music.

Following a successful series of concerts in the UK and their well received 1970 album ‘On Tour’, The Young Ones Of Guyana went their separate ways to concentrate on their studies. As luck would have it, several members of the band wound up in Canada, so in 1973 just for fun, they decided to book some midnight recording sessions in Toronto; ‘Reunion’ was born. Like ‘On Tour’ before it, ‘Reunion’ covers a wide range of popular songs from the era, ranging from soul to pop and even the iconic ‘Love Theme From The Godfather’, all performed in The Young Ones’ relaxed, latin-infused style.

The Farfisa organ, which featured so prominently on their first offering, was replaced by a Hammond B3 and Fender Jaguar and Gibson guitars were replaced with Fender Telecasters. Along with two new band members, the Reunion album was recorded at Eastern Sound Studios In Toronto and released in September 1973. This LP was released in Guyana and the Caribbean only, so very few copies ever made it to Europe and the USA, cementing its status as a sought-after gem for record collectors the world over.
