This can be attributed to a couple of factors. One was Dodd's apparent reluctance to record the new, overtly Rasta-inspired music. The other was an infusion of new blood into the Jamaican music business. Eager to make a name for themselves, producers like Joe Gibbs, Bunny Lee, Lee \"Scratch\" Perry, and Winston \"Niney\" Holness managed to supplant the island's \"big three\" (Dodd, Duke Reid, and Prince Buster) in the process, driving the music's evolution in the '70s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere isn't a weak number across these 16 tracks, from the Gaylads' ode to \"Africa\" and Devon Russell's version of the heavyweight \"Drum Song\" rhythm, to a trio of stunning instrumentals: Jackie Mittoo and the Cyclones with nyahbinghi drummer Count Ossie on \"Meditation,\" Lenny Hibbert's sparkling vibe work over Mittoo's \"Ghetto Organ\" (\"More Creation\"), and Sound Dimension's \"Congo Rock.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe music of this compilation is of a rare, rare beauty and is essential to anyone's reggae collection.\" All Music\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
