While there are better and more varied samplers of producer Bunny Lee's fine mid-'70s work, the first disc of this "twofer" still delivers plenty of top-notch sides by two of Lee's best singers, Johnnie Clarke and Cornell Campbell. Equally stellar work is also heard by Horace Andy, Dennis Brown, Linval Thompson, the Paragons, and Derrick Morgan.
