VA — When Rhythm Was King (2015)

FLAC (tracks) | 54 min | Roots Reggae, Rocksteady | 236 MB

In a more serious spiritual vein, Dennis Brown\’s \»Created by the Father\» is a standout. For the hardcore collector, there are a few alternate/original/extended mixes that are previously unreleased or previously unavailable on CD. It\’s likely, though, that these rarities will be of secondary concern to most people likely to enjoy the compilation, who will simply appreciate the chance to hear a classy batch of Studio One/Clement Dodd efforts that might not come to their attention through more high-profile reggae reissues.
