 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Notes And Comments About The Release ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀


     This collection reveals in all its glory the wealth of classic rock
     steady and early reggae produced by Leslie "King" Kong in just a
     three-year span.  The most well-known hits here include Desmond
     Dekker's "Israelites," The Pioneers' "Long Shot Kick de Bucket," and
     a pair of Melodians' tunes, "Sweet Sensation" and the legendary
     "Rivers of Babylon."  Some less-known tracks are equally as good as
     these, though: Bruce Ruffin's "Bitterness of Life" and Ken Boothe's
     '70s protest song "Freedom Street" are both superbly crafted gems.
     The Maytals also provide a couple of nice cuts featuring Toots
     Hibbert's soulful vocals -- with "Monkey Girl" and "Monkey Man" (no
     relation), while The Pioneers' contribute the lovely "Samfie Man."
     King Kong would kick Godzilla's ass any day.
