Product Description: "Pure Reggae" mysteriously includes Arrow's sizzling soca anthem, "Hot Hot Hot," but let's not quibble. The compilation's interesting conflation of reggae history places Jamaican Brit Millie Small's 1960 international hit, "My Boy Lollipop," next to "Boom Shakalak," an '80s hit from another U.K. Caribbean, DJ Apache Indian. The set opens and closes with Bob Marley & The Wailers--"Stir It Up" and "Exodus"--but it's a reggae grab bag in between. Give thanks for the inclusion of Desmond Dekker's "Israelites," The Melodians' "Rivers of Babylon," and Dawn Penn's "You Don't Love Me." Chaka Demus & Pliers' "Tease Me" megahit and reggae forefather Lord Creator's anthemic "Kingston Town" are also featured. --Elena Oumano

Great mix
This is one of my favorite CD's. My friends like it, my wife likes it, and even my kids like it. I love the variety, the pacing, and how the songs go from one great song to another.

Good Introduction to Pop Reggae
This CD is a great CD for those who are not great fans of reggae. Is it a down deep Rock Steady Compilation - NO. But if you are looking for somethng to play at a party that anyone can enjoy, this CD works. You may convert a few listeners and then feed them the classics later. All of the songs are fun even if they are not all pure reggae - at least you'll have a CD that doesn't get ripped out of the player and replaced with Britney.

Not a Real Reggae Album
First of all, half of the songs on this album are barely even what I'd consider Reggae. All this album basically is made up of is hits that border on Reggae and overcommercialized hits. If you are a true fan of Reggae, save your money.
