Various Artists - Reggae Chartbusters, Vol. 5 (2009)

Another taste of what might have been had Trojan maintained the series, this fifth compilation picks up where the previous volume left off, highlighting a score of the most popular Reggae sides from the mid-seventies. The growing influence of Roots and Dub is illustrated through tracks by Rupie Edwards, Johnny Clarke and Junior Byles, but as with the preceding four collections, the emphasis is firmly on more chart-friendly styles, with Ken Boothe’s "Everything I Own" among the assortment of UK hits scattered throughout this impressive set.
