Max Romeo: This Is The Record That Will Give The BBC Troubles — If It Reaches The Top...
David Griffiths, Record Mirror, 21 June 1969
HOVERING AROUND the lower end of the charts is a record that has had no plugs, and certainly no air plays nor is it likely to get any, since the title is 'Wet Dream' and that gives a pretty fair idea of the er uninhibited nature of the lyrics. The artiste is Max Romeo, a young Jamaican who is likely to be visiting this country in August, by which time it is to be hoped that he will have another, more promotable, disc.
