Wildly creative and exuberant, and seismically innovative, here are all Daddy U-Roy’s Treasure Isles — the two LP collections Version Galore and eponymous U-Roy from back in the day, plus seventeen well-chosen bonus tracks, including the spare sevens, alternate takes, studio chat, and a bunch of deadly instrumentals. Deliriously great music; absolutely indispensable.
Terrific selection of Joe Gibbs productions from 1970, featuring a clutch of killer Upsetter-influenced instrumentals, Niney and Andy Capp, and ace deejaying from Lord Comic.
No less than forty-four High Note sides: the original album plus a heap of 45s.
Sonia Pottinger presenting Earth & Stone, Bobby Ellis, Reggae George, The Itals…
These two early-eighties dub albums, plus a disc with nineteen dubs originally out on the Trojan subsidiary Attack.
Barrington Levy’s Poor Man Style album, Scientist & Prince Jammy Strike Back, The Viceroys’ We Must Unite, Tristan Palma’s Settle Down Girl… and a couple of Majestarians.
