Frontline Presents Roots

In 1978 Virgin Records launched a label that soon became widely regarded as the most influential imprint of the Roots Reggae era: Front Line. Its brief but glorious existence is celebrated with a brace of themed 2CD collections, each of which feature a mixture of the most popular and sought-after Reggae recordings released by Virgin the late '70s. 'Front Line Presents Roots' focuses on some of the greatest Reggae music of the period that saw release on the celebrated Virgin subsidiary, including works by some of the greatest Jamaican talents of all time, with 10 of the tracks appearing on CD for the first time ever. Along with the companion title, 'Front Line Presents Dub', this tasty budget-priced collection features some of the tastiest morsels from the Roots era, and by so doing is sure to whet the appetite of fans of classic Reggae for the greatly anticipated Front Line box set, due for release a little later this year! It features Big Youth, U Roy, Gregory Isaacs, The Mighty Diamonds, The Twinkle Brothers, Culture, I Roy etc.
