32 track double disc focusing on the 1st half of the Jammy's legacy (1977-1984), when he earned himself the moniker of Prince Jammy working alongside Scientist and Prince Phillip at King Tubby's studio in Waterhouse!

The much sought after 12" extended 'Pablo In Moonlight City' is featured here (the only track Augustus Pablo recorded for Jammy), alongside 'Jahovia' which was just recently revisited by Johnny Osbourne with Bitty Mclean on Bitty’s latest album 'Movin' On'. Monster Jamaican & UK hits like Junior Reid's 'Boom Shack A Lack', Half Pint's 'Mr. Landlord' and Junior Delgado's 'Love Tickles Like Magic' round up an amazing compilation showcasing the undervalued roots and beginnings of a pioneering Reggae producer with the best of his material working in the Roots and early dancehall vein before computerized rhythms hit the town in 1985 (which dubbed him to King Jammy..)
