    Would always prefer https://discogs.sitiodesbloquea.com/release/359380-Lee-Scratch-PerryUpsetters-Friends-The-Upsetter-Box-Set above this one, but it is very, very close... I am a vinyl enthusiast, but the only engineer who can take this feeling to the digital age is Andy Pearce, and he does a five stars job here. Absolutely brilliant mastering, and on top of the 1985 vinyl box set you will receive another great album, 1972's Battle Axe. One of the greatest CD collections that bears the 'Trojan' name. If you like Blackboard Jungle age Upsetters then this is a must get If you do not own these albums yet. And I am sure you never had them in better audio quality on CD before.

    Low price for four GREAT, not-so-known albums, and the booklet is strikingly good as well.
