Classic performances from one of reggae's superstars, pre-dating his cross-over into the pop mainstream.

A 21-track compilation of highlights from the classic roots recordings Isaacs made in the late seventies with such renowned producers as Lee Perry, Niney The Observer, Pete Weston and Alvin Ranglin, with a particular emphasis on his seminal recordings with Ranglin

.It includes both heart-rending ballads in a lovers-rock vein such as 'Lonely Teardrops' and 'Tumbling Tears' alongside such powerful social statements as 'A Riot' and 'Jailer', all delivered in Isaac's highly distinctive, bittersweet style.
