does anyone know the story of this bootleg collection? it is quite good no? some tracks appear on lp for the first time?

You can add this one to the selection:
[cover=3473,3477]
These were put together and released through Peckings in England. They are BRILLIANT. Sound quality is great. And track selections are ESSENTIAL.
Same is to be said about the 'Tuffest' and 'Foundation' instrumental / dub albums.
Sometimes the so-called 'Bootleggers' have to be praised for their work on Studio One (see 'Best of Studio One Vol 4' which became 'Pirates Choice', 'Mojo Rocksteady' or 'Gladiators-Studio One Singles').
Mr.Dodd needed a good shuffle in the waist from time to time .

I only have 'classic roots' There are some great tunes on it, but the sound quality of some tracks is unfortunally very low.

Yeah got the roots one too and am disappointed of quality too...

The 7 inch auction is a Peckings release but as far as i know the first 3 are bootlegs out of Birmingham.

There's a P.O box address from Liverpool written on the back of the sleeve.. So indeed no Peckings..

I've got "lovers" and, although it's a nice selection, the sound quality is also pretty poor on some tracks.
