Ska / Reggae / Dub

The Style that inspired Two Tone in the late '70s and artists such as Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse today originated in Jamaica some 20 years earlier and this collection provides the perfect introduction to its irresistible rhythms. Included are some of the biggest hits of the era including 'I'm In The Mood For Love', 'The Tide Is High' and 'Train To Skaville' alongside other classic tracks by some of the genre's greatest exponents such as Tommy McCook, Derrick Morgan, Jimmy Cliff and many more.

Time Life collections are usually rock-solid groupings of classic songs presented carefully and lovingly, and the FM Rock series is no exception. The theme seems to be songs you might find on a free-form FM station, because each volume contains songs that no commercial program director would come close to allowing on the air. Mixed in with these selections are some classic FM tunes as well, making for a wild and unpredictable listen. For example, Vol. 2 has hit tracks by the Doobie Brothers ("Rockin' Down the Highway"), Rod Stewart ("Every Picture Tells a Story"), and Little Feat ("Willin'"), but also obscurities like Crazy Horse's "Gone Dead Train" and Fleetwood Mac's "Jewel Eyed Judy," as well as oddball choices like Moby Grape's "Gypsy Wedding" and Jimmy Cliff's "The Harder They Come." Beyond being entertaining listening, all the entries in the series could turn listeners on to bands they missed the first time around, and are fine additions to the collection of someone who wants to delve deeper into the music of the '70s.

Universal Music is proud to present Island Reggae - 60 tracks on 3 CDs including great hits from Bob Marley, UB40, Dennis Brown, Sean Paul, The Mighty Diamonds and many others.
