Track:
drifting through the air is the smell of charcoal mixed with beefburgers. in the distance, laughter is sporadicaly projecting across the treetops, airwaves are transmitting contented, relaxing beats. Time to open a beer...so get ready I am going to gatecrash a barbecue cos the smell is making me hungry!
Oh this was originally recorded by the Temptations

Delroy in fact recorded no fewer than three separate covers of "Get Ready" - this is the first of them, cut at Studio One in in 1966/67, when he was still a teenager, backed by the Soul Vendors. The piano solo is a little way short of vituoso standard, but it's still a fine slab of rocksteady
Finally, in 1978, he went to Channel One Studios, a year or so after Gregory had cut his version there, and recorded the tune again - this is the full 12" mix, originally released on the Hitbound label
