"Originally released in 1977. The misleadingly titled The Best Of Freddy McKay is the fourth album of the artist and not a compilation. The fruit of collaboration with the producer Alvin 'GG's' Ranglin. Recorded at Channel One & Harry J studios and backed by The Revolutionaries it marks the entrance of McKay in the Roots Reggae era."

"Deep instrumental and dub album. Recorded in 1978 in the best Jamaican studios, including Lee Perry's famous Black Ark along (as always!) the cream of the musicians including members of The Wailers. Pablo mystical and meditative sound take us far away, to the Ethiopian roots."

2022 repress. "In 1979, Alvin 'GG' Ranglin released the Roots Man Dub album on his GG's label, comprised of ten titled and two untitled tracks drawn from a variety of sources -- singles from GG's, Swaby's Ja-Man and Manzie labels, and the Hookim brothers' Hit Bound label among them. The common denominator is the Revolutionaries, who provided all the riddims. The final three tracks (plus all of disc two of the reissue) are comprised of previously unreleased dubs, again drawn from a variety of labels' releases and featuring both Ranglin and Swaby productions. The set doesn't identify which are which, and only a few dates are provided, but it's obvious which numbers were recorded in the roots era, with the superb riddims supplied by the Revolutionaries, the Roots Radics, and GG's All-Stars. The first disc is by far the most sumptuous in sound, awash in rich, organic dubs that are laced with melodies and virtually vocal-free. In contrast, the second disc features 'dubbier' dubs, all more rhythm-driven, reverb- and echo-laden, and with snippets of vocals (mostly from George Faith and Tony Tuff) feeding throughout. Played back to back it's difficult to believe they're from the same producers, and one is tempted to credit Ranglin with the first disc and Swaby with the second, but one would be wrong. Instead, the shift in sound presumably reflects the shift in styles between the mid-'70s and early '80s. A fabulous set and a boon for reggae fans, but like so many dub albums, Roots Man Dub leaves one desperate for more background information." -- Jo-Ann Greene (All Music Guide)

2022 repress "... Isaacs kicks off the set with his declaration of independence, 'No Footstool,' but a quartet of militant cultural numbers -- a fierce 'A Riot,' a simmering 'Jailer,' a heartfelt 'Village of the Under Privileged' and the powerful return-to-Africa-themed 'Border' -- fuels this set. All are classic Isaacs, with the latter featuring the sublime harmonies of the Tamlins, who backed the singer on both these sets. Intercut between these cultural masterpieces are equally superb romantic offerings, notably the evocative 'Once Again' and the gorgeous 'Tumbling Tears,' the latter another massive hit. Like its predecessor, this is no career-spanning best-of set, but a superb album that does indeed include much of Isaacs' best work with Ranglin during the mid-'70s." --JoAnn Greene (All Music Guide)

"Ever since I heard the first Larry Marshall record, I have loved his writing, musical and singing style. He has a certain warmth and thrill in these songs that has It a deep aid love in the hearts of Jamaican record buyers. They always look forward eagerly to a new 45 by Larry. Larry was born in Lawrence Park in the garden parish of St. Ann. He attended Keith Primary School and began his singing career in 1960 on the Top Deck Label. Hits flowed from him, such as 'Too Young To Love' and 'Snake In The Grass', 'I've Got Another Girl' was recorded for Prince Buster. In 1968 the first reggae hit, now a classic, was done by Larry, We all remember Nanny Goat with the sharp cutting guitar riffs and the calypso sounding organ chords, 'Thelma' followed and then 'Mean Girl', All these were on the Coxsone Label. Recently, Larry's hits have been 'I Admire You', 'Brand New Baby', and 'Can't You Understand'. I now give you Larry's LP titles I Admire You, 12 shots are here to thrill your reggae-infused soul. King Tubby's mixed the tracks, and Federal Records made the stamper, Quality processing from studio disc. Get hip to I Admire You, Listen keenly to the voice, lyrics and arrangements, I'm sure that you'll proudly admire it!"--Andell Forgie of Swing Magazine
