About This Record
While the roots reggae of Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Peter Tosh and others made the biggest impact internationally for reggae, in 1978 a new sound began to emerge in Jamaica. Hard-hitting but sparser, fueled by the dynamic rhythms of the new group of studio musicians dubbed Roots Radics, by the early Eighties, dancehall reggae was hitting around the world * This collection has some of the biggest hits of the pre-digital dancehall era by such stars as Yellowman, Eek-A-Mouse, Sugar Minott and Barrington Levy - all of whom began touring around the world - as well as the all-time classic ""Bam Bam"" by Sister Nancy. Also included are some rare gems such as the original version of ""Dem A Lick Shot"" by Michael
