David Hadfield, along with John Harper, set out to produce rocksteady and reggae music from a south London recording studio. They created the Revolution Records label to release it on, which has baffled collectors and enthusiasts worldwide for years. With this album, Circle Records have restored music from tape and disc and shed some light on the label's story. Prices for the original records are high and climbing, along with interest in reggae (after it's addition to a "Unesco" cultural heritage list in 2018). The curious casual buyer and the dedicated collector would both find something of interest here. Comes with 28-page booklet with colour cover and centrespread with the story of the label, detailed discography and colour label and sleeve shots. 43 tracks over two discs, all restored and remastered. Covers all the label's rocksteady and reggae single sides, the best from two albums plus three unreleased tracks.CD1:01. Sitting In The Park - Owen Grey & Maximum Breed02.
