This is more of a placemark than a review, hence the absence of a grade. I listened to the parts of this that are on Spotify, as well as giving the similarly titled Blood & Fire 2 CD set a spin or two, and am not going further. This was all inspired by Tom Hull's reggae gradings. Other things he's given full A or A+ grades to that I have not pursued at all, or have given only one or two plays: All the ska/rocksteady/toaster compilations, The Abyssinians and Friends - Tree of Satta: Volume 1 (single rhythm), the comp Punky Reggae Party: New Wave Jamaica 1975-1980 (seems too pro forma to be spending hours looking for at decent prices etc. or fully evaluating), and the Cedric Im Brooks & the Light of Saba number (too jazzy).
