This is a glorious continuation of compilations by Soul Jazz Records, incorporating great vintage recordings by Coxsone Dodd. Lovers rock is a style of reggae music known for its romantic lyrics, and lush dreamy sounds that add to an idyllic thematic. The punk band The Clash introduced the term to a wider audience through their song ''Lover's Rock'' on their masterpiece of reggae fusion London Calling. The main highlights on this compilation include ''Oh Me Oh My'' by Jerry Jones. Sugar Minott bobs up with a really breathtaking number with ''Ghetto Girl'', and the inclusion by Marcia Griffiths of ''Truly'', which appears on her landmark album Naturally, is quite a standout. There is a mixture of 12'' disco-mixes throughout the album. This album is perfect for long flights or car drives.
