Bam Bam-What a Great Collection of Songs
F. Leto | Tucson,AZ | 10/01/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"In the early 1970's, Trojan released an LP entitled "From Bam Bam to Cherry O' Baby".It collected winners from the Jamaican Song Festival from that period.The songs were great and came from established singers such as Toots and the Maytals,Desmond Dekker,to name just two.This double disc set includes those 12 songs and adds about 42 more.That is a pretty good amount of songs.Consequently,this set includes all the winners and many other songs that did not win.(I can't call them losers because they are high quality songs).

This collection is a gold mine of songs that normally do not appear on other collections.However,it does include some songs you may have if you follow Reggae from this period(late 60's to 1975).I did not let that bother me because the sound of these songs is much improved over other versions I have heard.The notes are fine supplying information for the winning songs.But I would have liked to have more information on the other songs.That is a minor gripe and I would not let that sway me.The discs are in chronological order,and I preferred Disc 1 to Disc 2.However,the second disc did contain some great songs by some popular artists.

All in all this is a fine collection of reggae songs from the late 60's to mid 70's.The songs may not be overtly political,but they are fun. I highly recommend this set."
