raw unadulterated souldrippin crazy goodness.......2005-05-21

this is a lot of music for the ching. damn, this stuff is raw and tastey. this is not like his overproduced, smoothed out later releases. i gots lots of dub, and rock steady, this one is unclassifiable...or is it... (see title of review).

a powerful collection.......2004-08-16

the influence of Big Youth has been far and wide in both reggae and punk music. he is often thought of as one of the most influential toasters and an innovator of the dub style.
this is a monster of a collection with a whopping 41 tracks spanning (mostly) his early career. every song on here is a classic in it's own right. you can find no wrong here on this set of fine jamaican music. if you are into the styles of U-Roy or I-Roy, then buy this Big Youth 2cd set with confidence and expand your knowledge of this legendary figure. you won't regret it.

Essential.......2004-03-30

Big Youth is one of the most influential artists to ever come from Jamaica; he may be second only to Marley in terms of influence. This is an essential collection for anyone who is into Reggae. This 2-disc set explores some of Big Youth's best early work. The first disc contains some excellent work,especially from the album "Screaming Target" which was possibly the most important and influential record for a few London youths in the 70s that went on to form a band you may have heard of...The Clash. The second disc contains several tracks from Youth's best album, Natty Cultural Dread, which I think is only available on vinyl (but I am really not sure).

Big Youth is one of the most influential artists for the early punk movement AND for hip-hop. This 2-disc set is a perfect introduction to this essential reggae toaster.
