The first of the two LPs focuses on the biggest home-grown sellers of the year, featuring ska and R&B hits by such celebrated foundation artists as Jimmy Cliff, Derrick Morgan, Owen Gray and Don Drummond, while he second disc comprises 14 previously unissued recordings, produced by the country’s leading sound system operator-turned-record producer, Duke Reid.
