More Info
The late-'60s boss-reggae sound was up-tempo and energetic, unlike the slower, more relaxed turn reggae would take in the '70s. The UK youths, of course, fell head over (Doc Martens) heels for these records; these 50 sides includes hits, classics and digital debuts: "Israelites" Desmond Dekker & the Aces, "Liquidator" Harry J All Stars, "Red Red Wine" Tony Tribe, "Moon Hop" Derrick Morgan, "Wet Dream" Max Romeo, "What a Botheration" Lee Perry & the Upsetters, "Su Su Su" Pioneers, "I Am the King" Ethiopians, "Biafra" Crystalites, "It's Love" Dials and more!
