Featuring powerhouse vocalists including Dennis Brown, Johnny Clarke, Brigadier Jerry, Yami Bolo, Max Romeo and U Roy, this edition brings legendary performances together for the first time on vinyl.
From soulful vocals to commanding deejay toasts, the tracks are backed by top-tier Jamaican musicians and feature that rich one-drop and rub-a-dub groove that defined the era. Each track has been remastered and configured for this exclusive showcase to deliver the depth and warmth of analogue vinyl.
Given its exclusive limited-run nature and eligibility for Record Store Day, this LP is not only a must-for-listeners but also a coveted piece for collectors. The deep roots heritage, the heavyweight gospel of sound system culture and the archival quality make it both a listening experience and a vinyl artefact.
