eh kind of a rip
Most of these songs already appear on "Mr Soul of Jamaica" under different names. Shoulda previewed before downloading but just warnin. Good record but you're better off getting the other one, it has better artwork anyways.

RIP Alton Ellis
I hear that Alton has died in London. Rest in Peace. Respect is due.
