Versatiles

thumb|220x220px
The Versatiles were a Jamaican reggae group, formed in 1967 by Junior Byles, Louie Davis and Dudley Earl. In 1970 Byles left the group for a successful solo career. The band released many singles between the late 60's and early 70's. Some of their material were produced by Lee Perry.
==Links to Peel==
Peel had a copy of the group's 'Cutting Razor / Black Belt Jones' single, which was released in 1974. Although there're very few complete tracklistings of Peel's shows in 1974, it is highly likely that he played tracks from the group during that year. After his death, it was later found out that he had a copy of that single in his record box.
