Review

Revolutionary Sounds collects some of the finest examples of "rockers" reggae from 1974 to 1981. This seven-year period reflected a golden age for reggae, as tracks like Burning Spear's "Slavery Days," Dennis Brown's "Here I Come" and Judy Mowatt's "Sister's Chant" prove. Revolutionary Sounds also includes songs from Errol Kunkley, Pablo Moses, Big Youth and Black Uhuru, reaffirming the importance of this era in reggae history. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
