45

Triple LP set Reggae Anthology: The Channel One Story issued by VP Records (VPRL 1678). U.S. pressing. A comprehensive compilation documenting the legendary Channel One studio era.

This 3LP collection highlights foundational roots, rockers, and early dancehall cuts from artists including The Mighty Diamonds, Leroy Smart, John Holt, Dillinger, Sugar Minott, Barry Brown, Junior Byles, and many more. The Channel One sound, driven by the Revolutionaries and the Hookim brothers, defined late 70s and early 80s Jamaican reggae production.

Most discs in this set grade VG+ and present very well. Channel Two grades lower (VG to VG-) due to scratching but remains fully playable. Solid listening copy of an increasingly collectible anthology set.

Gatefold includes extensive liner notes and archival photography documenting the Channel One legacy.
