Cliff Notes

Full marks to those who helped compile this 3 disc, 50 track compilation of Rockers vibes.  The Rockers
style was a more militant, mechanical, and heavier drum style popular in the mid to late 70's created by the great Sly Dunbar.

Although discs 1 & 2 contain some fine, fine tracks for me it is disc 3 that really shines. So if you can't be arsed to listen to all of it just do yourselves a favour and at least listen to the final disc.  Whichever you choose to listen I'm sure you'll get into the groove, not one to keep your feet still to. A good mixture of roots rockers and some good cultural messages, too, and some rubba dub tunes.
