The sound is tremendous as well thanks to Studio One recording techniques - already superior at the birth of Reggae - and Soul Jazz mastering. It's a superior Studio One Ska compilation - what's not to like?" The Face // "Every side collected here is a classic" All Music // "Utterly brilliant collection of Ska music. Essential stuff' Q
