Various Artists - Island Records Presents Reggae Discomixes: 22 Essential Extended Mixes
This a great collection of extended 12'' mixes of well-known reggae tracks between 1976 and 1982. The highlights include the classic track ''Klu Klux Klan'' from the enormously perfect album Handsworth Revolution by the sensationally dressed act out of Birmingham, Steel Pulse. Another highlight straight after that gem is by Linton Kwesi Johnson with ''Want Fi Goh Rave''; this track is absolutely sublime and can be appreciated by everyone for its musicianship and lyrics. On the other CD (this being a two-disc compilation), includes the closing track by Gregory Isaacs ''Cool Down The Pace'', from his seminal album Night Nurse. Basically, any compilation is going to standout if it includes a song from two of the most defining reggae albums ever, they are both supremely impressive albums both in their own right.
