MUNDELL Greensleeves Reggae Classics : Hugh Mundell

This is a Great Hugh Mundell disc originally released on LP by Greensleeves back in 1982 and released on CD in 2004.  Top to bottom, this set is all wonderfully unique roots from the the tragically short career of Mundell.  There are twelve tracks total on the CD ; the last four are considered bonus tracks that were added on to the original LP set.  This album has got the production works of Junjo Lawes and Scientist at the boards and features some great musicians like Flabba on bass.  These tracks were recorded at Channel One and then mixed over at Tubby's.  If you collect this disc and pair it with the albums "Blessed Youth" and "Jah Fire" (a Black Arrow label release with Prince Jammy mixing and production).  Really all the tracks on this disc are nice, but my favorites are #2 (Rasta Have the Handle) and #10 (Can't Pop No Style).  Their is a great live version of Can't Pop No Style out there.  It's extremely deep roots and extremely hard to find.
