CD Reviews

There's some gems on here!

charlyfivepints | Hull/Haarlem/Bordeaux | 12/22/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Right, I'll be honest, the first cd has only one good tune, Owen Grays 'Reggae Dance'.But it's a damn fine tune at that.The 2nd cd is a corker, Bongo Herman has two classic tunes on this disc.'Chairman Of The Board',(with Bingy Bunny and Les) is an amazing version of 'The Liquidator', and 'African Breakfast' is a beautiful rolling instumental.Also worth noting is Audrey Rollins' 'Repatriation'.The rhythm you may recognise from I.Roys classic 'Musical Drum Sound'-the nyahbingi drumming is missing but it is a damn fine tune never-the-less.Cd 3 features the mighty I.Roy himself, with 'High Jacking', his heavy heavy version of Horace Andys 'Skylarking'. Bongo Herman appears with Bingy Bunny again.-'Ration' is their classic cut to Dennis Browns 'Money In My Pocket'and is guaranteed to get you steppers steppin'.The set closes with a Keith Hudson produced Big Youth tune, 'Can You Keep A Secret', this is my favourite dub tune of all time,complete with mean moody harmonica, and worth the money itself. Other highlights are K.C. Whites 'Anywhere But Nowhere', the beautiful voice from 'No No No', delivering another fine, self-penned tune and Delroy Wilsons extremely rare 'Trying To Wreck Up My Life'.BUY THIS!, you will not be disappointed."

Great great stuff

"This is my 6th or 7th Trojan box set. They are pretty uniformly awesome, in my opinion. Rare Groove may be one of my favorites thus far. As far as a previous reviewer stating that there's only "one good tune" on disc one - completely wrong. It's probably my favorite disc in the set. But everyone's tastes are different.

If you like early reggae, this set is for you. Really nice, bouncy early stuff from the late 60s into more "serious" early 70s grooves. Just all-around excellent tunes. A lot of this stuff is similar to disc one of the Upsetter box set - apolitical and upbeat, with a heavy debt to 60s R&B - but all that in a good way."
