This second volume of Metro Music's Reggae Chartbusters offers up a wide array of rudeboy and skinhead-friendly stompers. Mostly tapping into a fertile stretch from the latter half of the '60s -- a time when Jamaican music progressed from the rudeboy to rocksteady to early reggae styles -- the 16-track mix particularly spotlights songs that made the English charts, including such perennials as the Untouchables' "Tighten Up," the Upsetters' "Return of Django," and the Pioneers' "Jackpot"; in fact, Ole Blighty's own skinhead reggae favorite, Symarip, chimes in here with their popular "Skinhead Moonstomp." And there are more highlights on this fine mix, including high-profile cuts by Dandy Livingstone (the rudeboy classic and future Specials debut opener, "Rudy, a Message to You"), the Ethiopians ("The Whip"), Clancy Eccles ("Fatty, Fatty"), and Derrick Morgan ("Tougher Than Tough"). So, strap those boots on and grab your partner by the hand. ~ Stephen Cook, Rovi
