This is a 90's era album of reggae by Maxi Priest, who was actually born in London. His cover of ''Wild World'' is incredibly famous, the song also being covered by Jimmy Cliff who does a stirring rendition himself, and of course the original song is by Cat Stevens. Perhaps the track that really stands out is ''That Girl'' which is basically incredibly famous in reggae. He also offers a cover of The Police, ''Message In A Bottle'', and teams up with Chaka Deemus & Pliers for one song and also Buju Banton for another. This is basically a fun album that is well produced for its time, it only cost me $5 and probably a fair reflection of how famous reggae once was, with Maxi Priest having a US Billboard number one single in 1990 with ''Close To You''.
