VA - Summer Records Anthology - 1974-1988 - Light In The Attic

Jerry Brown's studio in Toronto was on par with Lloyd Barnes with

Wackies in New York. Not for releases - but for good sound - and

getting a new reggae sound. Distribution was always a problem - and it

still is for many new labels and studios. Light In The Attic based in

Seattle - have already relased one set from Canada but this is the

first all reggae set - and is truly excellent. Featuring Willi

Williams, Johnny Osbourne, Stranger Cole, Jackie Mittoo - its an

allstar cast. You can tell by the date in the title that you gets the

roots sound of the seventies right into the dancehall sound of the

eighties - but its all good stuff. And its made even better by

extensive sleevenotes and wait for it a DVD!!! This is the kind of

stuff that reggae music needs today. Even if you have the music which

is unlikely you are not going to have the rest of it. Its called a

package!!!
