CD Reviews

Pricey but essential

Thomas Kimlin | Boston, MA | 05/18/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Kind of pricey for a single disc, but this album is super smooth and rootsy with a some sweet rare cuts including a great one from Horace Andy.

If you're new to reggae, there are cheaper albums to check out and I'd start with the Dubwise and Otherwise compilations. But, if you're a serious reggae fan, this is a great pickup."
