This is a heckuva price for 50 prized cuts from that golden age of Jamaican music: "54-46 That's My Number" Maytals, "Return of Django" Upsetters, "007 (Shanty Town)," "It Miek" Desmond Dekker & the Aces, "Rock Steady" Alton Ellis & the Flames, "Stop That Train" Keith & Tex, "The Tide Is High" Paragons, "Let's Do Rock Steady," "Rudy, a Message to You" Dandy, "Train to Skaville" Ethiopians, Trojan.
