Winston & Ceceil
United We Stand / Sweet Message
Banana BA 306 (1970)

Winston & Ceceil are Winston Francis and Ceceil Lock, both Jamaican artists. This single was released in 1970 on the UK Banana label and also released the same year in Jamaica on the Studio One label. The 45 was produced by Clement "Coxsone" Dodd who founded the Studio One label in 1963.

While Winston released many 45s during his career, this was one of the two duets he recorded and released with Ceceil.  Ceceil released a solo 45 in 1970 (also on Banana Records) as well as another duet in 1970 but with Errol Dunkley.

The flip side of this 45 is credited to Sound Dimention. The band was formed in 1970 under the leadership of Leroy Sibbles to fill the role of Studio One's house band. The group name comes from the "Arbiter Soundimension", an analog disc echo unit which was predominately used in the Studio One recording studio.

They later changed their name to the Animals. They were supposedly dubbed "animals" because of their wild stage act, and the name stuck.
