Well….for all classic reggae fans out there, you’re in luck. One of the greatest (in my opinion) harmony reggae groups, The Gladiators, have a new album out. Actually, this is really just a compilation of previously released tracks, but never released in CD format.  This CD is a great example of that 70′s sound that Studio One is known for. If you like having the ‘versions’ or dubs of vocal tracks, they’re included. Plus, two 12″ mixes to round out the release (‘Pretending’ and ‘Happy Man’).
My favorites on this are definitely ‘Bongo Red’ and ‘Roots Natty’. I could listen to those tracks for…???…hehehe.
Overall, like I said, if you are into the classic reggae of the 70′s, this is one to pick up. Another “heartical roots compilation from one of the top rasta groups from the golden age of Jamaican music.”
