Just when it seemed there were no more ways to repackage Trojan’s vast back-catalogue of Jamaican sounds, Freedom Sounds’ five themed CD, 108 song celebration of fifty years of Jamaican independence radically recombines typical Trojan material. Disc 2, “Jamiacan Hits”, surveys the usual suspects, Desmond Dekker’s syncopated 007, Junior Murvin’s Clash-inspiring Police & Theives, and The Maytals’ 54 46. But Disc 4, “Innovators”, diversifies, with many of the set’s fifty rarities, never before on CD. A King Tubby dub of Johnny Clarke’s None Shall Escape The Judgement, and an extended version of Barrington Levy’s declamatory Skylarking, both clang righteously.
