Virgin Front Line Presents Roots (37 Classic Roots Cuts) CD -- the double CD covering Studio One, Treasure Isle and Channel One artists across 37 tracks. Augustus Pablo, Burning Spear, Culture and more.
A 2014 double-CD retrospective on Spectrum/Universal drawing from Virgin's Front Line imprint, which released roots reggae between 1975 and 1979. Front Line was home to acts including Burning Spear, Culture, and Steel Pulse. The 37 tracks span that core era, including Burning Spear's "Crazy Bald Head", Culture's "Jah Son Of Africa", and both "Satta" cuts from the Abyssinians.
