Gregory Isaacs: Extra Classic Plus! (TJCCD268)

Wonderful stuff, nobody really put together an output that consisted so effortlessly of lovers and roots better than the cool ruler, and this set came at th eheight of his popularity.

At tis period of time Gregory was prolific and he barely put down a duff track so all you need to do is put this on, play the whole way through, typical unmistakenly Gregory isaacs and that’s no bad thing. Favourites ……..all top tracks so I ain’t gonna pick one.

Gregory Isaacs: Extra Classic Plus! (TJCCD268)

Format: CD album Released: Jun 27 2005 Price: £12.99 The original release of Extra Classic in 1976 marked the breakthrough for the 'Ghetto Loverman' with the plaintive voice, who was also someone you didn't mess with! The album is a collection of great singles that are both pure Lovers and tuff reality tunes and its release marked the arrival of Gregory Isaacs as a top Reggae star in the western world as roots Reggae broke outa Kingston. This special edition has the bonus of Extra Classic Dubwise that's made up from all the original flip sides to the singles. Cool dub.
