At least that's the way the reggae faithful will see it, since almost everything here is pulled from the 12\" releases Miller recorded for producer and label owner Joe Gibbs.

Since it's not the most artist-centered compilation, it's not the best introduction, either, but collectors will appreciate obtaining these hard to find mixes, especially since the 2000 collection I'm Just a Dread -- the same album with bonus tracks, a different running order, and duller sound -- has fallen out of print. Even if North Parade's reissue sounds brighter and fuller, the surface noise of the original 12\" discs is still very noticeable and, in the case of damaged cuts like \"Fly Away,\" very distracting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Studio 16","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50471278510411,"sku":"1082309","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d60f2579-afa7-4a1c-9a07-b0f324700ec7_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727398135"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_9e02ee52_thumbnail_4096_7d0bff22-e89f-4912-8e03-630d438bd226.jpg?v=1726242547","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/jacob-miller.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
