UPDATE: new link for youse. Enjoy skanking under the mistletoe.
I just sold my copy of this one on Discogs, so I took the opportunity before shipping it to re-rip it and share with you cats and kittens on this, the first Friday of December.
Truly a most irie comp, and one of my favorite "novelty" Christmas records, this one leads off with a track from Lee "Scratch" Perry, and moves on, covering a wide swath of JA music history in one go, with December 25th the common theme. John Holt's cover of "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" is an absolute knockout, and while I'm not much of an Inner Circle fan, Jacob Miller steps in with a "Wish You A Merry Christmas" that I've added to more than one holiday mix. There's a little something for every fan of reggae's evolution, from ska and rocksteady into Trojan's heyday and thru into dancehall and ragga.
If you're looking for something to play instead of that shit Wings track, give this one a spin.
