Editorial Reviews

Full title - Reggae Dance Floor Grooves 1968-74. Featuring some of the funkiest sounds laid down in Kingston during the late sixties & early seventies, 'Funky Kingston' highlights a mixture of original & cover versions by some of reggae's greatest musical talents. Among those gettin' it on down on this celebration of Jamaican Funk are such luminaries as Bob Marley, Lee Perry, Toots & The Maytals & Ken Boothe - a varied cast that reflects the far-reaching influence of hard-hitting American r&b on the island's music industry. Issued on both CD & vinyl formats, this collection will have a wide-ranging appeal, attracting reggaephiles & funksters alike. 20 tracks packaged in a slipbox. Trojan. 2002. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.
