This CD has some great tunes particularly Big Youth "Cool Breeze" and Scotty "Draw Your Breaks" both over the "Stop That Train" rhythm. The vocal by Derrick Harriot on the 12" of "Slave" is wicked. Finally, the two tunes by Bongo Herman, Les and Bunny are pure roots. Overall, a very good CD with some great tunes.
