This is a long awaited CD release of original Maytals LPs from the Byron Lee and Leslie Kong years. The set includes six original LPs on CD with reproduced labels and sleeves. This is, to my knowledge, the first CD release of the Greatest Hits LP, feauturing songs previously only available on rare vinyl. This set is a treasure and a must-have for true Maytals fans. Enjoy!
