Maybe not everyones cup of tea, but for me Lovers Rocks! There is nothing quite like a singjay such us Alton Ellis, Gregory Isaacs or Courtney John crooning about their long lost lovers. Part One features mostly rocksteady relicks of old Treasure Isle and Studio One cuts from the Peckings, Stingray and Joe Fraser. Part Two is more up to the time, with some modern one drop roots riddims getting the luv a dub treatment from Special Delivery, Sir Peter and Necessary Mayhem.
