From allmusic.com:
This is the second of four Trojan compilations featuring rare ska,
rocksteady, and early reggae. The emphasis this time out is on ska and
reggae sides, with the Wailing Wailers (featuring a young Bob Marley),
the Skatalites, and the Maytals being the only high-profile acts present.
While these legends all make spirited contributions, what really dazzles
is the more obscure material like Tommy McCook's dizzying instrumental
"Out of Space," Baba Brooks' rude boy theme "Seven Guns Alive," and Don
Drummond's loping trombone number "Dragon Weapon." Switching from ska,
the second half of the disc includes an early reggae mix of soulful
vocals, DJ cuts, and instrumentals. The rarely heard singer Hemsley
Morris particularly impresses with his smoky and vulnerable delivery
on "Little Things," while DJ U-Roy Junior "let(s) the music shock you"
on "Sharper Than a Razor" and Dice & Cummie bring Jamaican patois to
the fore with their amusing ganja dialogue "Real Collie." Getting top
honors here, though, are Randy's Allstars' massive groove on the organ
grinder jam "Solid Gold" (presumably the series namesake as well) and
producer Herman Chin Loy's innovative, early dub exploration
"Invasion." A great and nicely varied collection with decent to fine
sound throughout. Once again, kudos to London DJ Lionel Young (aka
Sir Tropical Downbeat) for the tasty excavation work in selecting the
tunes.
