  • Description

    LP first time on CD. Companion release to "Hot Shots Of Reggae" CD.Many tracks new to CD. By the dawn of the Seventies, Leslie Kong's Beverley's Records was firmly established as Jamaica's premier record label, having secured a series of major international hits by some of the island's finest talents.Having secured rights to Kong's output the previous year, London-based reggae giant, Trojan Records, had wasted little time showcasing the Kingston-based producer's work on a series of 7" singles and albums.

    Among the LPs to see issue in 1970 were two 'various artist' compilations: the recently reissued "Hot Shots Of Reggae" and the equally sought-after "King Size Reggae".Available on CD for the first time ever, the latter features some of the finest Jamaican recordings of the period, with the track-listing bolstered by no less than 19 Leslie Kong-produced bonus tracks, many of which appear on CD for the first time.A perfect companion to the "Hot Shots Of Reggae" CD, or simply a superb stand-alone collection in its own right, this long overdue release is an essential purchase for fans seeking the best in classic reggae sounds.
