Favorite reggae compilation

Yes it is. And it is numbered mine being #506. Sets are as follows:

Ska
Dub
Rocksteady
D.J.
Lovers
Tribute to Bob marley
Instrumentals
Roots
Jamaican Superstars
Producer Series

The whole box cost something like 200 euros or £140, if I remember it correctly, which I consider of being quite good value for the money. Bought it directly from Trojan, since we do not have any good reggae shops here anymore. Used to have one called Black Star, but the owner Tero Kaski passed away couple of years ago. During vinyl days he imported stuff directly from Jamaica.

If anyone is ever in London, try the Fopp record store. Amazing sale prices on some items. Got three of the double-disc Trojan reggae comps for seven pounds each, VAT included of course. That compares to $30 and more, plus tax, in Montreal. Most of the other newer double-disc comps of individual artists were 14 pounds each.

 

Does anyone have the 2001 "The Reggae Box" 4-CD set from Universal? Any good?

 

Have to include the new collector's series of "The Harder They Come" soundtrack which has gotten even better with an additional disc of reggae classics.

...........which any reggae fan will already have on numerous other CDs!


I really would have preferred a disc of outtakes, rarities or even movie dialogue!
