I have been thinking about purchasing two Niney produced various artist compilations and would like some feedback on whether they are worth picking up. They are :

1, Truth and Rights Observer Style.

2, Rock On: Greatist Hits from the Observer Label.

Look forward to your comments as always.

Respect

Greetings Rootsman Dave from the Emerald Isle...

Have both Truth & Rights and Rock On
Personally speaking Rock On is the better one..
Paymaster - Captives is Gregory Isaacs at his peak and the Deejay Ranking Bucknor is class (haven't) heard or seen much else by him). Halfway by D.Brown is a classic...Sweet Cornell Campbell vocals on My Heart Is Clean and then there's the excellent Junior Byles Track Weeping with some slack lyrics by I-Roy on the version. Teach them Love is a top rankin "feel good" tune. Like the sleeve notes say this contains the hits from the Observer label well worth it. Truth and Rights contains a lot of tracks I have seen on other compliations but it has its high points too...Warrior Johnny Clarke, Clap The Barber (Guess Whos coming ..Riddim) Michael Rose, a couple of cuts of Blood & Fire Riddim

ites deh
so do i have dem both but rock on is far better for me...
so my opinion catch dem both dem are worth picking up.

respect everytime
dreadrecords

pick em up pronto !!

Yeah Dave,

Go and buy them, if you still haven't for the last 2 years:D

Only joking:)

Dave,

I'd throw this one in the cart too, [cover=4716,4112] you won't be disappointed.

Like DOOP said, it has been two years, so I'm assuming you've picked up all the Niney you would ever need...

Regards,
Chris

I'd make a bee line for the superb Observation of Life LP, if you can afford it! One recently fetched several hundred bucks on ebay.
