(4 out of 5 stars)

"At nearly $22 I won't call it a bargain, but this d.j. reggae compilation is easily the finest money can buy. The years covered here are '70 - '76 (not '69 - '79) and there is virtually no filler. Until recently, it would have taken thousands of dollars and multiple record shopping sprees in Kingston or London to find many of these cuts. The names of the d.j.'s featured is a who's who of toasting legends: Big Youth, I-Roy, U-Roy, Alcapone, etc. If you're sitting on the back steps with a case of beer and a boom box on a Friday night this would compliment your situation quite nicely ."
