In the words of Don Letts AKA The Rebel Dread: \"Looking back, I see it as a turning point, a cultural crossroads when different genres collided, giving birth to something entirely new. It was a celebration of diversity and a rejection of homogeneity. It's impact has it rippled through the years, influencing subsequent generations of musicians and shaping the landscape of alternative music. The fusion of punk and reggae became a blueprint for bands seeking to break free from the constraints of genre. As DJ at The Roxy (the UK's first live punk rock venue) I was lucky enough to sees these ideas blossom to become what we now call the 'punky reggae party' and forty-five years later it's message is still in full effect. \"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurning Spear - Slavery Days (Album Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dillinger - Buckingham Palace (Album Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 4th Street Orchestra - Za-Ion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Culture - Two Sevens Clash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Clash - Police ; Thieves (Remastered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Generation X - Wild Dub (Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Errol Campbell - Jah Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Elvis Costello ; The Attractions - Watching The Detectives (Single Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Good Breed - Heights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Xtc - Fireball Xl5 \/ Fireball Dub (‘White Music' Out-Take)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Steel Pulse - Ku Klux Klan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Clash - (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e African Stone - Choose Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Graham Parker ; The Rumour - Hey Lord Don't Ask Me Questions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Althea And Donna - Uptown Top Ranking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e China Street - Rock Against Racism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dennis Brown - Money In My Pocket (Part 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ruts - Jah War (Single Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Matumbi - Point Of View (Squeeze A Little Lovin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Doll By Doll - Janice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Janet Kay - Silly Games\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Pop Group - She Is Beyond Good ; Evil Dub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jimmy Lindsay - Ain't No Sunshine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Stiff Little Fingers - Johnny Was\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Specials - Doesn't Make It Alright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Selecter - Too Much Pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Public Image Limited - Poptones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Joe Jackson - Sunday Papers (Album Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Clash - The Guns Of Brixton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Members - Offshore Banking Business (Edit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Linton Kwesi Johnson - Inglan Is A Bitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Glaxo Babies - Who Killed Bruce Lee?
