sound of the shebeen - volume 2 - various artists
basically, this is best reggae compilation i have heard in ages.
check the tracklisting below, a superb mix of well known 70's classics matched up against hard hitting dubbed up versions of the same track (for example the easy on the ear pop friendly 'ali baba' by john holt is followed by 'i trim the barber' by king tubby!), there's some sweet lovers rock, some skanking rhythms, righteous Rastafarian lyricism and a cheeky dancehall deejay here and there (tapper zukie) making this more excellence in 73 minutes than a decent stereo system can handle on a hot summers day.
truly perfect stuff.
