VARIOUS ARTISTS
Revolutionary Sounds
(Shanachie)



"Revolutionary Sounds" is a single CD, but it can also be found as part of an excellent 4-CD Box set. Subtitled "Essential Rockers Reggae Classics (1973-1981), this disc is exactly that as it offers 14 tracks and just over 50 minutes of classic Reggae delivered in the "Rockers" style.

I personally bought it because of one tune, Dr. Alimantado's "Born For A Purpose," but it also has such killer tracks as Burning Spear's "Slavery Days," Jacob Miller's "False Rasta," Sugar Minott's "Chant A Psalm," and a crucial version of "A Little Way Different" by Errol Dunkley.

If you're unfamiliar with the greatness of Jamaican music, this disc would be a great place to start.
