Title: Warm, sunny, friendly listenin'
Product review: This is a nice title that didn't take long to grow on me. The majority of tracks here are from the 60s. But by the end of disc 2 they're well into the 70s. You seriously feel the difference between a tune from 1960 and 1970! And what falls in between is a great progression of styles ranging from an early ska sound to rocksteady, even to a few rhumba, cha cha cha and calypso covers (for the beginning of disc 2) then moving on to reggae hits and a more full-on 70s vibe with stuff like the Isaac Hayes's classic 'Shaft' or (even cooler) 'Message to A Black Man' (wait a minute, just checked the liners, that's from '64!). Then how about the groovy-ish Calypso-reggae ditty Mawga Dawg (now this one's from the 70s) or the chuggin' groovy "Poison Pressure" after that. In a word, there's a lot of diversity on this compilation, but it's all very enjoyable stuff. Highly recommended.
