This review is from: Kings of Reggae (Audio CD)

David Rodigan and Sting International do an amazing job selecting on this one. I'm just diving into the raggae sound and this album is perfect for an introduction. I have heard some of these tunes before and since and not at this quality. If you don't own it, get it. I now have it on cd and record.

I have had this album for over a year now and I still play the snot out of it. Supprisingly high quality sound. Many of these are 70's-80's era and recording equipment in the islands was rare and typically poor quality. David Rodigan is a 60 something dj from Germany and is a teacher at the Redbull school of Music. He is probly one of the most knowlagable people to put together a raggae compilation.
