me thinks they will be out on 17 North Parade not Greensleeves.
As for sound quality I can can only comment on the Barrington Levy and Culture ones and they sounded ok to me.

My copy of the Dennis Brown box has arrived and looks and sounds great considering it's mastered from vinyl.

Well worth £8.99 from Amazon.

The Culture box is out 21st January and fingers crossed they've done a good job of that too

Just got the Dennis Brown box today myself.

Visions is a nice album (all I've listened to so far). Sounds great.

The Culture box arrived on saturday. Sounds great. Mastered wonderfully.
Along with the Culture and Deejays CD this is all the Culture at Joe Gibbs collected together.
Wonderful stuff. Get rid of Shanachie's 40th Anniversary edition, where the tracks were shuffled, and get this edition. Well worthy £8.99 on anyone's money, and I don't work for VP either :)

Not quite all, no Prince weedy on see them a come 12" they spliced it with natty pass gce, on the culture and the dj,s.No see dem dub either
also no release for dub to 2 sevens clash.i think their may be one or 2 more but its just nitt picking..i noticed on the last 12" rerelease of zion gate the dub had horns in themix more like a dub of the album version of zion gate.
But all in all a big thumbs up. and as you say £8.99 brilliant.

It is excellent value and well worth picking up. However, much of this music has been made available on both vinyl and CD in the past.

When you think of the vast amount of great music that Joe Gibbs and Errol Thompson created, much of which has never been put on CD isnt it about time that labels like VP tried to get some of it out instead of rehashing and re-releasing music that has already been put out on numerous occasions already.
