Various – 100% Dynamite!

Good quality pressing, flat and quiet, which seems increasingly hard to find these days. Great compilation!

Is Bunny Clarke - Be Thankful really long 2:32 on this release? Or is it a typo?

My favorite find on Record Store Day in June 2022! Love the rocksteady vibe, perfect on Juneteenth.

Pressing sounds fantastic! Studio One releases are often perfect and this is no exception; deep, heavy bass and great dynamics. Vinyl is flat, dead silent, and flawless! This is an amazing set of songs and should be in any reggae/dub fan’s collection. Highly recommended!

I got the 2015 vinyl with the extra tracks but sound is disappointing compared with other Soul Jazz reggae compilations I have. Granny Scratch Scratch is pretty much unlistenable - does the 1998 press sound ok?

Fav volume of the dynamite serie,
B5 is pure gold

There is a mistake on the album about order
A2 - The Marvels - Rocksteady
A3 - The Maytals - Night and Day

This is one of the finest compilation series around showcasing the finest Reggae from right back to the Ska days up until Dancehall. So many forgotton gems have been exposed to a wider audience today as a result of the fantastic Dynamite series & Soul Jazz Records.

If you want to start anywhere in gaining a classic historical reflection on Reggae, one of the most beautiful, radical and sweetest musical forms in the history of music, than look no further than this stupendous compilation.
