The Roots of Gregory Isaacs 1968- 1978

Arguably the most prolific artist in Jamaican music history, Gregory Isaacs has had innumerable compilations of his work issued over the past thirty years but few have specifically focused on his early development as a performer. This set, like its predecessor, the recently issued 'Roots of Sly and Robbie', explores the early work of a reggae legend and by so doing illustrates his development from just another struggling singer in the tenements of Kingston to an internationally renowned reggae superstar.
