"Even before you listen to a note from this excellent pair of a
compilations, they throw up some interesting points. Firstly, just how
London-centric the UK music industry remains and has been for decades.
This has meant that with the radio, TV and most national print media
being based there, it has been necessary to break London to make a
National Impact and to give the impression of having æmade it.Æ
Also that British Reggae has siffered from being viewed as not quite as
good as that which originated from Jamaica, in as much as (Pre-Grime) UK
Hip-Hop was seen as beinginferior to the US Variety. But just as names
from the late 80s such as Derek B, The Wee Papa Girl Rappers made an
imopact but have still to truly get their historical due, so British
Reggae has also suffered. Leaving UB40 out of it, the late 70s saw the
likes of Aswad, Janet Kay, Linton Kwesi Johnson and Steel Pulse, to name
but four. The two-tone movement in Coventry of the era may also be seen
to have been a first or secondary cousin. And as well as all this, there
was the Bristol Scene.[..]"
