CD Reviews

Fantastic combo of Rocksteady originals & U-Roy toasting

Mr. S. Daffern | UK | 01/30/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This double CD is fantastic value. The second CD is the best rocksteady compilation I have heard so far: lots of Paragons classics. The first CD is about the best intro to U-Roy you could buy and as he is the granddaddy of DJ toasting a good place to start. As there are nearly 30 tracks on each disc this adds to the value. The only doubt you might have is that it can sometimes be a bit wearing to listen to a whole disc of a single DJ's toasting. But hey! You could play the rocksteady disc all day long and never tire of it!"

2 great discs!

Jack Smith | W-S, NC uSSa | 06/12/2007

"Disc one: 29 U Roy classics.

Disc 2: 29 original rocksteady classics.

I don't think I need to elaborate much on this. A fantastic collection and a terrific bargain."
