Review: Vintage Reggae - When I bought this anthology, I didn't realize that it was composed of vintage reggae. Instead, I mistakenly thought it was a collection of vintage, obscure soul music. Generally, I'm not much of a reggae fan. I do not intentionally admit any carbon into my lungs, if you get my drift. However, I've sometimes enjoyed vintage reggae, like "The Harder They Come" soundtrack by Jimmy Cliff. That is actually some interesting, funky, and thoughtfully arranged music. Well, the same is true for most of the vintage reggae on this anthology. It's all very tasty, and very enjoyable stuff. Maybe I really am a reggae lover, and just didn't know it? Probably, it depends on some combination of the funkiness and the thoughtful craftsmanship involved. That's the ticket! I'm happy that I bought it, and so.... I'm officially recommending these grooves.
Review: Not exactly funk, but some great tunes! - Funk? Uh, not by my definition. Despite the proclamation in the liner notes that this is "non-stop Reggae Funk from start to finish", the sound is more reggae-soul than anything else. But labels aside, this is delightfully good stuff anyway you want to brand it, played by some of the biggest and best names on the Studio One label. The song selection is a combination of original material, covers of soul hits (the theme from "Shaft", "Funky Broadway", "It's a Shame", etc.), and versions of stuff from Studio One." Think of Booker T. & the MGs done reggae style and that pretty much describes the vibe of many of these fine songs. Plenty of groovy organ and choppy guitar riffs to keep you dancing and swaying. While the music is first-rate, and will appeal to any fans of this golden age of reggae (1960s and 1970s), the compilers really missed the boat in giving us details about these vintage recordings. The scant liner notes (each page in the booklet is divided in half; a blurry photo and part of the essay) offer only superficial information about some of the artists and songs. Except for the list on the back cover, the full track listings are buried under the plastic CD tray, offering songwriting credits and recording dates, but no song times. Not sure why this information wasn't included in the CD booklet; it's annoying to have to lift the CD out and attempt to read/focus on the tiny print underneath the plastic tray!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The name is misleading, but don't miss out. BEST of the best cd's I have, save for Augustus Pablo.
*by C***C on April 19, 2010*

I wasn't looking for funk, per se. I was looking for some funky reggae music, and boy did it it pay off. These killer numbers are funken groovin tunes with great horns, organ, piano, drumming, vocals, and most importantly to me- good melodies. This music has great movement, and very unique in the influences that are played in a reggae format, be they jazz, funk, rock, or whatever- I would say that the forms don't matter compared to the ESSENCE of musical creativity of the players and singers. Great production sound from '69-'72.
