Trenchtown Days: The Birth of a Legend (2001)

This actually has the exact same 20 songs that comprised the previous Epic/Legacy CD release in 1990 that was called The Birth of a Legend, with no "Trenchtown Days" in the title. The differences? None, except that the track sequence is different, and the liner notes are different.

This actually has the exact same 20 songs that comprised the previous Epic/Legacy CD release in 1990 that was called The Birth of a Legend, with no "Trenchtown Days" in the title. The differences?

And the liner notes are actually inferior to the ones found on 1990s The Birth of a Legend, concentrating on the sociopolitical context of the era in Jamaica, but not giving many details about the music.

The influence of group harmony early American soul is also heard to fine effect on cuts like "One Love," "I Made a Mistake," and "It Hurts to Be Alone." ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi Read Less
