The CD’s are split down the middle, the first one featuring Ska to early Reggae and the second 70′s sounds. The release has it’s fair share of fairly obvious tunes as [...]
November 27, 2007, at 9:54 am Collecting 7″ vinyl singles in little boxes is a popular marketing gimmick for record companies these days. The latest Reggae seller to get in on the act is Greensleeves with a nice little seven single release called Rewind And Come Again.
