Interesting rock-steady-era selection from Druweed on this Japan-only release. Nice picture of Jackie Mittoo on the sleeve, and with some rather more obscure photos of record decks and speaker boxes inside the annotated (in Japanese) booklet.

Not as strong a selection as ROCK A SHACKA VOL.6 or ROCKA SHACKA VOL.11, but a worthwhile purchase for tracks like Be Cool, Lee Arab (actually Federated Backdrop - Sound Dimension), More Soul, How Nice It Is and Jackie Mittoo's What What.
