2.0 out of 5 stars 'Nasty Cash-In Compilation Full Of Flaws' 4 July 2012
By Antony May TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
I must admit to being more than a little surprised at the poor quality of this compilation. The 'Now' brand has (for all its sins) up until now always been one associated with original- same as the radio- versions and well compiled collections. Well, on the evidence of 'Now That's what I Call Reggae', that reputation is no longer valid!

Not only is this compilation uninspired to say the least (all the usual oldies, plus a host of pop/reggae crossovers and a few tenuous selections) a good many of the songs here are either NOT the original hit version of the song or have been edited in some way. To add to the misery the sound quality varies wildly and CJ Lewis 'Sweets For My Sweet' has such a hissy, thin and trebly sound its almost unlistenable.

The truth about this compilation is that in tough economic times and finding themselves increasingly redundant record companies are trying to do whatever they can to drum up sales. The inclusion of 'Walking On The Moon' by The Police is tenuous but just about acceptable but how anyone could call 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' by Bobby McFerrin reggae is beyond me? With downloading having pretty much killed off the charts and what chart there is now perpetually full of little but R&B and Rap songs there have not been any truly crossover reggae smashes for some years now. Thus, 'Now That's What I Call Reggae' is the kind of compilation we can expect to see more and more of from now on, I'm afraid.

Give this a miss.

1.0 out of 5 stars I Really Wouldn't Call That Reggae 27 Jun 2012
By Mr Bald
Format:Audio CD
Now I know that due to rights and what not, the album was never going to have the all time classics from artists like Bob and Peter Tosh or any of the Marley boys, but still...
Out of the 60 songs, only 5-10 should be making it anywhere near a compilation of great reggae hits. There are a couple of classics like Diana King and Wayne Wade, but there are so so so many more missing. And there is just the one newish song from Gyptian, when the reggae scene is thriving at the moment, with Beenieman, Sean Paul, Alborosie, and Protoje to name a few.
An absolute waste of time if your looking for a bit of decent reggae.
I'm very glad that I looked through the track list before purchasing, I mean just seeing the name Peter Andre shows straight away this is not what you're looking for.

1.0 out of 5 stars An Insult to Raggae 3 Sep 2012
Format:Audio CD
This was always going to be a cash in compilation but for goodness sake could somebody not be bothered to select a complete album of genuine raggae? The inclusion of the Police is so lame. I am not saying I do not like the song, nor do I deny that it has a raggaeish rhythm, but surely it is not what anyone calls raggae. The there is Peter Andre! There is not much more to say about the bepth that the compilers of this compilation have sunk to after that. To put these raggae lite songs next to wrok by Jimmy Cliff, Bob Marley etc, is just a slap in the face for Jamaican musicians. Shame on anyone who buys this, get some real raggae albums, if you want a compilation then look at the likes of Trojan Presents: Classic Reggae - The Soundtrack to Jamaica

3.0 out of 5 stars What 's expected - but!
It's good and I don't doubt the popularity of the selection, but I was hoping for something a little more selective from the genre over the past 40 years. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Its Ok.
Its very ok because some of the tracks are quite good while some are not. All the same it is worth the amount of three cds of great reggae in one. Its worth keeping. Read more
