Its been great to revisit some of the music that we all loved best in our youth and I don't often play classic Burning Spear, Pablo Moses, Twinkle Brothers or Ijahman these days.

Features several excellent New Town Sound productions recorded exclusively for Trojan Records when the label belatedly turned to roots rockers during its final days. Also several superb Burning Spear and Royals tracks, not to mention the 'voice of thunder' Prince Far I. Big Youth's Political Confusion on the Love and Livity with the Jewels is pure fya as is the Observers' cut of Satta

Cover art borrowed from the Spear Institution 7'' sleeve
Watch out for part 2 coming soon...
