This is an interesting collection for sociologists as well as music fans, as it explores the impact of gang culture on Jamaican Society in the mid/late 1960s through the medium of some of the popular Jamaican recordings of the time, with a fascinating sleeve-note essay by Harry Hawke to explain the connections.

Having just written that sentence maybe I should have become a sociologist!!

For those unfamiliar with the term "Rude Boy" (or "Rudy" as it was often called), it started off as Jamaican slang for a hooligan, a hoodlum, a petty criminal, someone who dressed very smartly but lived on the fringes of the law.

These are original 1960s recordings commenting upon The Rudies (musically a Caribbean precursor of US "Gangsta Rap" if you like), some songs seem to glorify the lifestyle, others seem to totally condemn it, others fall somewhere in between. Inevitably Dandy Livingston's original version of the much covered "Rudy A Message To You" is in here, as are other jolly tunes about guns, knives, terms in jail, and/or criminal court cases.
