5.0 out of 5 stars classic album of classic music, August 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 20 Reggae Classics 1 (Audio CD)

This album is one of my favorites. Definitely a classic. A must have if you love reggae, particularly the original stuff. Notice that UB40 made a killing on their "laour of love" album in the 80's taking most if not all their material from the artists included in 20 reggae classics. Now, if I could just get my hands on volume 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST CLASSIC REGGAE COMPILATION EVER, April 13, 2010

Wow, what to say about this CD:
We had the original Trojan 1984 audio cassette and wore it + 2 dubs to shreds, never knowing that Trojan re-released a digital remastering in 1987. 2 weeks ago when when our last dub no longer played, we found this '87 CD - NOW BACK IN HEAVEN AGAIN. What a difference in sound! Sentimentality for the old tape held us back for a long time. But there is just no comparison in sound with this disc - Trojan had some good recording engineers! Haven't bought or heard the later 1991 release but can't imagine it could be any better.
About the music itself: it's the height of early reggae artistry, it's been top-shelf for us for 26 years. It can't get any better.
CRANK IT UP!

This is a mind blowing collection, a real jewel and a must have in any music library. No wonder the price is off the wall. Save some bucks and go to German amazon (similar at Japanese amazon if you can read Japanese). You'll get a brand new one for half a price, DHL shipping included!
