Genre: Reggae

An essential collection showcasing some of the finest and most sought-after reggae interpretations of r&b classics from the 1970s, performed by some of Jamaica’s most celebrated artists. Includes numerous long-standing classics alongside long-forgotten rarities that have remained unavailable on vinyl for decades.


The recordings not only reflect the profound influence of US r&b on the Jamaican music scene throughout the decade, but also demonstrates the exceptional ability of the island’s music makers to transform soul classics into reggae masterpieces. The result is a truly fascinating and compelling listen, guaranteed to get you in the mood for dancing.
