The Best Reggae Box yet!, November 28, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Reggae Box (Audio CD)
An incredible follow-up to last year's equally delicious Funk Box. The fact that there is an entire disc of early ska/rocksteady was good enough for me to buy this. All 4 discs are perfect, non stop party music that everyone will enjoy. The packaging is stunning (you'll see what I mean the second you open it), the essays are very informative and well thought out and the track-by-track annotations tell the whole story. Everyone is on here (and although there is no solo Peter Tosh, he is in the Wailers who have 2 songs on Disc 2). So this is standing next to my Funk Box now (which you should pick up if you haven't already). Beautiful box. #1 X-mas present to all my friends and family this year. This box does indeed acquaint you with the "Routes of Jamaican Music." Buy this yesterday!! Rated A+ (5 STARS IN TOWER'S PULSE MAGAZINE THIS MONTH!). Jah Rastafari! This box has made the I-Man Irie! Peace-Jah Lion!

"this box-set is "Smithsonian" caliber", November 14, 2001
This review is from: Reggae Box (Audio CD)
This is an awesome 4-CD-Set chock full of rarities going back to the early '60s up to the present...hardbound book featuring the history of "Jamaican Music"...more popular today spreading the genre through words and music gathering new listeners and fans along the way. Total: four-CD-Set ~ Universal/Hip-O/Island 314-560-929-2 ~ (2001)

Great for new comers in reggae, November 28, 2001

Just one remark on this set. Great to get an overview on Jamaican reggae but some big guys are missing LKJ, Israel Vibration anf off course Lee "Scrtach" Perry. So I would say: GOOD bur NOT ENOUGH
