UPC:

Description:

Recorded between 1968 & 1972.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
This three-CD set covers the reggae sound of the late `60s and early `70s that was popular among young people in Britain. The first two discs feature hitmakers like the Upsetters, Ansel Collins, Derrick Morgan, and a host of less-well-known artists. The third disc focuses on material from Britain itself -- homegrown reggae made by Winston Groovy, Rico & Rudies, and many others. The 50 tracks have been digitally remastered and many appear on CD for the first time. This is a fine, low-priced collection that should appeal to almost any reggae fan. ~ Tim Sendra
