FLAC tracks  | World, Latin | 1:39:04 | 695Mb“Superb collection that reveals a genre that’s fluid and has a no-borders attitude to influence.” – MOJO17 obscure Soca B-side versions, dubs, instrumentals and edits as well as vocal tracks influenced by disco, boogie, house-music, soul and the more conscious lyrics of roots reggae.

Owing as much to New York, Toronto and London as to the Caribbean cities of Port of Spain, Bridgetown and Kingstown this compilation traces the genre from its explosion in the late 1970s right up to the period just before contemporary soca became established around the end of the 1990s.
