"Great release from Trojan. These are classic CDs compiled by Barry "Scratchy" Myers. The tracks found here are very inspiring. Many DJs would love to have these tunes on their sound system. Most of the songs sound crisp and clear, the old suddenly sounds new again. Anyone interested in musical scenes inspired by the sound of reggae, ska and dub should really check these babies out. Barry Myers surely knew his stuff so well: this seminal compilation was thoroughly researched and programmed. The songs are tied together to work like movements in symphony. The insert would also delight its readers with cool graphics, story and musical insight written by Myers himself."
