17 North Parade, VP Records vintage imprint, digs through its vault to reveal their latest Reggae Anthology: Barrington Levy “Sweet Reggae Music” (1979-84) on December 18, 2012. Filled with certified classics from beginning to end, this 40-track double disc collection covers the early years of Barrington Levy’s astonishing career in chronological order. In addition to this timeless musical selection, the set’s liner notes give an in-depth look of the living legend’s journey throughout this crucial period.
The second disc continues to highlight his later hits with Junjo, including “21 Girls Salute” and “Prison Oval Rock,” along with his mega crossover anthems with other producers, including “Black Roses” with Hyman Wright & Percy Chin (recorded at Channel One) and “Under Mi Sensi” and “Here I Come” with Paul “Jah Screw” Love (released on Screw’s One Time Label in UK and Thunderbolt in Jamaica). The latter hit climbed the UK’s Top 50 Chart and has recently been featured on Saints Row 2 and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. His international appeal also earned him Best Vocalist Award at the 1984 UK Reggae Awards.
