"With Wackies reissues costing $16-$17 for 40 minutes of music, I don't know if there is enough of a wow factor here to warrant paying full price.



This is routine dub. Nicely recorded, but missing something. Someone else may come along and have a much greater appreciation of this.



Unless you can get really cheap, I would move along and vote with your dollars on other more worthy releases on wackies: Prince Douglas, John Clarke, Meditations, Wayne Jarrett, Sugar Minot, etc,"

This is why Reckless Roots Rockers is special...............

"These Riddims were laid down by the Soul Syndicate band at King Tubby's Studio in JA around 1977 before Lloyd 'Bullwackie' Barnes moved to New York. That is reason alone to cherish these tracks, but you also get a super rare track in Don Carlos's Prepare Jah Man.



I do agree that the running times on the Wackies re-issues are pretty short (but these are true to the originals). Also, the packaging is minimalism at its minimalist (ie: you get no more than a cardboard digi-pack). Therefore, I subtracted 1 star.



The music contained, as is the case of most Wackies releases, is 5+ stars."
