VARIOUS
Virgin Front Line Sounds Of Reality
Black History Month
Limited Coloured Vinyl 2 x Vinyl LP
UMC
There are many labels who have been influential in terms of how the reggae world has evolved and unfolded over the years and Frontline is one of them. This superb double album reminds us why across 18 crucial cuts of dub. Included are a number of special alternative versions and new mixes that you might not have heard, and that have certainly never been on vinyl before. U-Roy, the vocalist who pioneered the vocal style known as toasting, features a few times, as do the silky sounds of Keith Hudson, buttery vocals of Gregory Isaacs and legendary Johnny Clarke.
