A Rasta militant often addressing political and social issues in his songs,
Linval Tompson has been recently the object of retrospectives by several
reggae labels. This double album extrapolates 25 of the 47 songs featured
on Trojan’s new 2CD tribute. Carefully chosen from Thompson’s best years
(between 1975 and 1981) , the tunes on this double album give the listener
a glimpse of the extraordinary talent of this songwriter, singer and producer
and his valuable commitment to the rise of Jamaica as a strong and proud
nation. Classic Rastafari/roots make for a beautiful listen.
