 Mista Soul Jamaica's prime across two discs December 13, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Alton Ellis is still performing, but his peak as a recording artist was in the 1960s and 70s - the period this extensive comp covers. Many of his classics, such as Cry Tough, Rock Steady, (Girl) I've Got a Date and Breaking up are here on the first disc.
But I like the second latter period disc even more. There are some great rare tracks like Alton's Official Daughter where Alton sings 'my little daughter,need a lots of water', and Harder and Harder. The second disc also features more rasta-themed tracks which Alton handles just as well as his rock steady classics, and soul/funk covers such as It's My Thing. So, one of the best Alton comps out there.
Good vocalist, a bit raspy,and less than smooth January 30, 2007

As the first reviewer stated this vocalist was most likely better in his younger years. This cd, in my opinion can be quite a trial to get through having so many , sound nearly alike songs on one c.d. Which is why most people prefer compilations by a number of artists. It only took the producers 30 years to figure that one out.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST CDS I HAVE. I HAD ONLY HEARD ONE SONG FROM ALTON ELLIS, "YOU MADE ME SO VERY HAPPY" AND I THOUGHT THAT HE MIGHT HAVE MORE BETTER SONGS. AND HE DOES!! THIS IS ALL I HAVE BEEN LISTENING AT WORK FOR THE PAST WEEK. ITS GOOD THAT IT HAS MORE THAN 50 SONGS!!!
