Another essential addition to the revival series from Munich Records own reggae label "Majestic Reggae". No slackness and no badness to be found, just roots and culture produced by Linval Thompson. Most of the cuts selected are of the highest premium, thus making this a fairly impressive collection of great tunes from a producer/singer/songwriter who is a perfect example of the almost forgotten roster that's gone to make up reggae music. This compilation - covering the years 1979-83 - gathers prime cuts from a number of respected vocal groups, vocalists and deejays as well as some wicked heavy dub versions. All tracks were recorded at Channel One Studio, rhythm by Roots Radics. This is a superb document delivering you some of the best from "Linval Thompson Sounds" !
