Rockers from Channel One : Linval Thompson

If you like multiple version sets with dj and dub tracks, then you should eat this up big time. A true master of roots reggae; Linval Thompson is showcased on this CD along with Ranking Dread , Big Joe, and the Revolutionaries. This disc is a 2001 release from Trojan with a large 22 tracks. Some of the Linval vocal tracks are considered classics and can be found on other discs ( Ride On Dreadlocks : Linval Thompson ) and compilations ....... but the alternate versions really make this a great disc for your collection. My favorites on this one are: #2 (Natty on the Rock - dreader than dread version by Ranking Dread), #17 (Love Can Conquer - love is the question version by Big Joe), and #18 (Poor Man - love is the question version by Ranking Dread). This isn't a cheap production of extra tracks slapped together. It's a very well thought out set of lyrical versions that would really take a little work to dig up elsewhere - BIG Thanks to Trojan for this one.
