There's not much that needs to be said about this apart from pointing out the importance of King Jammy.

A look at the tracklist and a quick read of this excerpt from the sleeve notes should be enough to convince any self respecting reggae fan of the importance of these tracks in the history of roots music:
"When the definitive history of reggae of reggae is written the name of Lloyd James will surely stand with the all-time greats in due recognition of his complete control of the digital musical revolution of the '80s. During the previous decade, though Jammy had worked with the legendary King Tubby at his Waterhouse studio where the sonic experiments emanating from 'Dr. Satans's Echo Chamber' came to permanently transform preconceptions of how music could be made. The records on this set come from a pivotal time when, under Tubby's tutelage, Prince Jammy was beginning to forge his own unique identity as a record producer."
