Three-disc set, each disc in a card slip-case, with sleeve notes spread over the backs of the three cases.
Compiled by Laurence Cane-Honeysett
Sleeve notes by Stephen Nye
There was a second pressing. I don't know if I have the first pressing or the second pressing but on disc 3, at the bottom of the cardboard sleeve, mine says 'compiled by Sephen Nye' while the pictures posted here we can read 'compiled by Laurence Cane-Honeysett'.
This is the matrix I have:

ReviewThis collection was brought out in the summer of 2003, timed to coincide with "Europe's biggest Street Party" .. London's Notting Hill Carnival, of which the accompanying essay by Stephen Nye gives a brief history.
Tracks on here concentrate on Jamaican recordings from the 1960s and 1970s that fit in with the Carnival theme, so in amongst the standard Ska/Rocksteady/Reggae fare expect to hear the occasional Calypso, Novelty, and UK recorded tune.
