Various Artists - Reggae Loves Jah (VP Records)

'Reggae Loves Jah' is the successor to last year's compilation 'Reggae Loves Africa'. This time it's not the African continent but the love for the Almighty that takes centre stage and knowing that it will come as no surprise 8 out of the 13 tracks on 'Reggae Loves Jah' feature the word Jah in their title.

Big surprises you should not expect on this compilation, as with the exception of the slightly lesser known 'Jah Works' by Terror Fabulous, anthologists Dane 'Fatman' Bogle and Eisaku 'Selector A' Yamaguchi rather seem to have opted for big hits (Sizzla's 'Praise Ye Jah', Tony Rebel's 'Jah Is By My Side', Jah Cure's 'Jah Jah Bless Me', Luciano's 'It's Me Again Jah'...) from the VP archive.
