5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the best!
The Ethiopians' recordings from the mid 60s up thru the early 70s represent all that is great about Jamaican music from this period. Strong lyrics, great vocal harmonies, and great tracks from WIRL studios and producers such as J.J.

5.0 out of 5 stars All You Need, February 24, 2003
