In these times when some CD`s are fetching such crazy prices, isn`t it refreshing to find that you can pick up this great CD from a certain website for "ONE PENCE".

Jackie Edwards has a great soulful voice and imo this is one of the better dancehall orientated albums from this period.

Strong riddims, great musicians and a great set of tracks.

I cannot understand why it is this cheap as the sound quality is pretty good, although there are no liner notes.

So anyone who is interested, go buy it, you won`t be dissapointed :)

It's an absolutely brilliant album. I just bought three mint copies of the LP from eBay for £5 a piece. One for me, my mate and my girlfriend. Great rhythms and really brilliant singing. It has a similar vibe as the Paragons LP »Now« which I've also been listening to a lot lately. Similar in the sense that it's technically skilled singers doing quality vocals over tight rub-a-dub rhythms.

Totally agree. I found a sealed copy of the Vista pressing in the cutouts bin years ago, and still spin it regularly. I'm especially partial to 'Girl You Lied,' on a tuff version of the Moving Away riddim.
