Various - The Kings of Reggae - David Rodigan and Sting International
(2xCD/2x12") Barely Breaking Even Records/Rapster Records RR0066CD, 2007-02-05

Review :
The "Kings Of" series of BBE are not compilations for the record collectors out there, they're selections FROM the record collectors out there. This 8th volume focuses on reggae, roots reggae and dancehall, and tries to offer a coherent and comprehensive view on Jamaican reggae music.

THE number one specialist in all England is one David Rodigan - thankfully he's there, cooking the first platter... It's an "only huge roots reggae hits" selection so you'll have to go somewhere else for some rare unearthed old school gems, but if you need to educate a friend to reggae music, it's a good introduction. If you need some reggae that won't annoy the pop/rock-abused ears you've invited for "dinner and a blunt", it's a well-fitted choice too. They shall all enjoy their afterdinner rolled one on a peaceful Jamaican chillout time with classics like "Satta Massa Gana" (The Abyssinians), Marcus Garvey" (Burning Spear"), "Police & Thieves" (Junior Murvin) or "Fisherman" (The Congos).... The rest of the first CD is elegantly selected too, globally, it's quite a cool summer thing. By the pool/sea and no cloud in the sky...

The second CD is more of a jamaican soundsystem mix, focused on the end of the 70s rub-a-dub and early 80s dancehall, flowing from a song to its toasted version with ease [with a big up to our main men The Lone Ranger and Echo Minott, featured here with their famous "M-16" and "Lazy Body" respective classics!].

While newcomers will discover a box of delights, reggae connoisseurs will surely welcome the well-paced story of jamaican music. Can't say much about the booklet too from the promo CDs I got but I'll try to update these comments when I'll get my hands on the final product.
