Oh wow, that was the first reggae album I ever owned! Almost never hear anyone else talk about it. They always think I'm talking about the Marley album. Amazed someone here brought it up. Some extremely catchy things on there, with my favourite being Derrick Harriott's self-deprecating The Loser.

I think I remember reading that this comp served as a remedial class for many of the post-punkers who quickly went onto incorporate reggae and dub influences in their music.


So true! There were certainly a lot of copies of that about when I was (briefly) at PNL. In 1980 it seemed to be the equivalent to the Post Punk crowd what The Front Line was to hippies and punks alike in in 1976/77. Rebel Music was one of the best multi artist retrospective projects that Trojan put together before getting bought out. The little box sets that they put out in the late 90s were quite good in their way esp the Rare Groove and Singles ones.
