BARRY 'Scratchy' Myers club/concert DJ and tour DJ with the Clash introduced many punks to the equally rebellious sounds of reggae and the more broader fare that Jamaican music styles offer.
Here he has selected 40-plus tracks of the most popular offerings from his set list of that period (1976 to '81). Featuring the likes of Niney, Dennis Brown, Delroy Wilson, U Roy et al, it brings together a collection of 12in cuts, rarities and classics that never appear on the plethora of inferior reggae collections that swamp the market. This is my album of the year - buy it now.
