Wasteful as in the entire contents of this 6 CD box could have been fitted on 3 CDs - but of course the point is to house each CD in a facsimile of the original sleeve. Also wasteful as in some of these CDs overlap slightly (Pressure Drop appears 3 times, for instance, once in a horrible stereo mix).

Classy as in this is a fine bunch of music, as one would expect from a set which features the superb Toots & The Maytals in their late 60s/early 70s prime. 3 of the albums are produced by Leslie Kong (the second Jamaican producer to get a record in the UK Top 20 after Prince Buster, and the first to get a UK #1), and the first CD is a quality ska collection from the Byron Lee stable. The other two date from immediately before they ... Read More:

20 Massive Hits

Search: Shes My Scorcher
by: Toots and the Maytals

Release Date March 13, 2000
I'm not one for writing reviews but seeing as no-one has bothered to write a review for this Toots & The Maytals CD, I thought I may as well be the first.

If your knowledge of reggae goes as far as Bob Marley, and that's it, then you seriously need to broaden your tastes, and as a starter I highly recommend Toots. This CD covers The Maytals career from 1966 to 1974 and all the hits are here - Monkey Man (later covered by The Specials), their brilliant debut single Bam Bam, 54-46 That's My Number and probably their most famous song Pressure Drop (later covered by The Clash).

There's 20 songs on this album and I can honestly say there simply isn't a bad song on here, this album played through from start to finish sounds ... Read More:
