"Resident in one of the most hardcore Rasta communities in Kingston, yet forever reasoning on behalf of his Christian faith, Yabby You, aka Vivian Jackson, was a reggae one-off. In the mid '70s, he made the very rootsiest of roots music, his rightous chants often getting dubbed by King Tubby. That era was sublimely anthologised across two discs by Blood & Fire circa '97, but since that's now out of print disc one here is a must-hear, serving up highlights like Anti Christ, Conquering Lion, Jah Vengeance - extraordinary stuff ... However, the remaining two discs often swap quality for rarity value".

"At long last, Jackson gets proper respect again - posthumously, he died in 2010 - with the new box set (...) lovingly organized by reggae authority Randall Grass, these 56 tracks are close to a definitive collection".
