Rocking On The G.G. Beat 1970-1971 / Various Rocking On The G.G. Beat 1970-1971 / Various CD

Two CD set. 16 tracks new to CD. Includes some of the biggest reggae hits of the early 1970s. Features many of the most popular reggae performers of the era. Among the new wave of record producers who commenced their careers at the tail end of the 1960s, Alvin 'GG' Ranglin. Alvin scored numerous Jamaican hits yet remains one of the most under-rated and over-looked Kingston-based music makers of the 20th Century. At the start of the 1970s, he cemented his reputation as one of the most popular reggae producers of his generation, expanding his roster to include some of the finest talents on the island, their number including The Ethiopians, Cynthia Richards, Charlie Ace and The Slickers, as well as long-term stalwarts, The Maytones. This 2CD collection, the second in a series of sets showcasing the very best of Ranglin's productions from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s, demonstrates the high quality of his output during one of the most fascinating periods in the development of reggae music.
