Description

While the roots reggae of Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Peter Tosh and others made the biggest impact internationallyfor reggae, in 1978 a new sound began to emerge in Jamaica. Hard-hitting but sparser, fueled by the dynamic rhythms of the new group of studio musicians dubbed Roots Radics, by the early Eighties, dancehall reggae was hitting aroundthe world

This collection has some of the biggest hits of the pre-digital dancehall era by such stars as Yellowman, Eek-A-Mouse, Sugar Minott and Barrington Levy - all of whom began touring around the world - as well as the all-time classic "Bam Bam" by Sister Nancy. Also included are some rare gems such as the original version of "Dem A Lick Shot" by Michael Palmer, "Gunshot" by Anthony Johnson, and "Saturday Night Jamboree" by Wayne Jarrett. It's the definitive collection of the classic era of reggae dancehall!
