Originally released in 1964 and reissued in 2025 by Kids Of Yesterday, More Millie captures the crossover between Jamaican ska and British R&B during the Blue Beat era. The album reflects the upbeat, syncopated sound that brought Jamaican music to UK audiences in the early 1960s.
The record features lively arrangements typical of the period, highlighting the energy of ska as it gained popularity in London’s club scene and among early reggae audiences.
Millie Small was one of Jamaica’s first international stars, best known for her 1964 hit “My Boy Lollipop,” which helped introduce ska to a global audience. Her collaboration with producer Chris Blackwell played a key role in the early success of Island Records.
