"Hip-O has given the listener another shot at reggae ~ this time it's Chaka Demus & Pliers and their "Ultimate Collection" with some stand outs. We can only give this creative duo much of the credit for their music from early '90s with an outstanding release of "Ruff This Year"(1993), where the spotlight shined gave us "MURDER SHE WROTE" ~ which also appears on this release. Let's take a look at these stand outs from this Jamaican duo ~ "TWIST & SHOUT", joining our duo is Jack Radics & Taxi Gang with a remake of the Beatles and Isley Brothers hit ~ "TEASE ME", made a definite impression on the reggae genre fans ~ both selections take you into a melodic reflection of what groove you can expect in a soulful textured fabric of reggae,
gotta love it. If you enjoyed this and want more, why not sample "Sly & Robbie Ultimate Collection:In Good Company", also from the gang at Hip-O Records ~ this is fun music, and in this world of happy sounds from the Islands ~ this one is a keeper! Total Time: 71:28 on 18 Tracks ~ Hip-O Records"
