5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic combo of Rocksteady originals & U-Roy toasting, January 30, 2004

This double CD is fantastic value. The second CD is the best rocksteady compilation I have heard so far: lots of Paragons classics. The first CD is about the best intro to U-Roy you could buy and as he is the granddaddy of DJ toasting a good place to start. As there are nearly 30 tracks on each disc this adds to the value. The only doubt you might have is that it can sometimes be a bit wearing to listen to a whole disc of a single DJ's toasting. But hey! You could play the rocksteady disc all day long and never tire of it!

Disc one: 29 U Roy classics.
Disc 2: 29 original rocksteady classics.
I don't think I need to elaborate much on this. A fantastic collection and a terrific bargain.
