This includes many songs I am aware and know of so personally it did not take a long time to appreciate this compilation of Trojan hits from a massively productive era which was the rocksteady era in Jamaica between 1966 and 1968. The compilation really picks up pace later on with the tracks by The Gaylettes with ''Silent River (Runs Deep)'' and the cracker ''Don't Look Back'' by Keith & Tex, which itself was covered by Peter Tosh and Mick Jagger later on, but the original is phenomenal. I also like the closer ''Bim Today (Bam Tomorrow)'' which is graced with the most impressive vocal performances from Toots & The Maytals. All in all this compilation has successful captured a pivotal era where there was no nonsense just the music, and they were really churning out hits at a furious pace.
