This three-CD set covers the reggae sound of the late '60s and early '70s that was popular among young people in Britain. The first two discs feature hitmakers like the Upsetters, Ansel Collins, Derrick Morgan, and a host of less-well-known artists. The third disc focuses on material from Britain itself -- homegrown reggae made by Winston Groovy, Rico & Rudies, and many others. The 50 tracks have been digitally remastered and many appear on CD for the first time. This is a fine, low-priced collection that should appeal to almost any reggae fan. ~ Tim Sendra

3cds-Tony Scott/Dynamites/Vice Roys/Wanderers/Royals/Prophets

Recorded between 1968 & 1972.

All tracks have been digitally remastered.

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars It's surely not "Oi"
It's nice to finally hear the original Skinhead Music (before the term "Skinhead" became such a bad word), but be forewarned, there is nothing like "The 4 Skins" included here. For those interested in original Ska, this set will most likely be a welcome addition, but 3rd Wave fans should probably start with the "Ska Revival" set as sort of a bridge between what they're used to and what is contained on this set.
