Since its release this predominantly instrumental long player has become a highly prized collector's item that has remained unavailable in any format until now. Soon after the Canadian LP saw issue, London-based reggae giant, Trojan Records released the popular "Greater Jamaica Moonwalk Reggae", which brought together a further dozen of Reid's finest works from the period, performed by such luminaries as John Holt, Dave Barker, Justin Hinds and the Ethiopians.These two essential albums now form the basis of this set, which is further bolstered by an incredible 38 bonus tracks, many of which make their CD debut, making this a must for fans of the legendary Duke and the popular boss reggae sound.
