A coletânea “The Story of Jamaican Music (Tougher Than Tough)” foi lançada nos anos 1990, contendo 95 músicas jamaicanas lançadas entre 1958 e 1993. É um box com quatro CDs: “Natty Sing Hit Songs 1975-1981” e “Reggae Hit The Town 1968-1974”, os meus prediletos, “Forward March 1958-1967” (muito bom também) e “Dance Hall Good to We 1982-1993”. Comprei a coletânea importada na saudosa Wine Music, e ela foi fundamental para a minha imersão no reggae e na história da música jamaicana.
A coletânea e os 4 CDs
