VARIOUS ARTISTS - Total Reggae - Greensleeves 40 Years

Originally a record store specializing in reggae, Greensleeves Records was founded in London in 1977 as one of the most prestigious record companies in the independent music industry and music publishers for artists and producers of Jamaican music in Europe. For the 40th anniversary of the "Total Reggae" series, a representative selection of high-quality recordings of classics, hits and rarities was compiled in chronological order.
