Dancehall (subtitled: The Rise of Jamaican Dancehall Culture) is a 2008 compilation album of dancehall music released between the late 1970s and 1993.[1]
Release
Dancehall was released by Soul Jazz Records in 2008 on compact disc, mp3, and vinyl record.[2]
Reception
[4] Stevie Chick found the album was "like a wide-ranging survey of the greatest Jamaican pop of its loosely-defined era" and "feels less like a dry old musicology lecture and more like a party-proof all-killer mixtape culled from arguable Golden Age."[5]
