5 out of 5 stars tighten up.......2006-11-06

i personaly don't own this box set. however, i do have the first two volumes of the tighten up series. I gotta say probably some best collections of reggae to ever come out. There are alot of songs in this box set from the frist two volumes..."blood n fire"-niney the observer "barb wire"-norma dean "fatti fattie"-derrick morgan....plus lots lost more.I highly reccomend this to any fan of mid to late 60's ska and reggae truly great stuff

4 out of 5 stars One of the best of the series.......2002-04-20

I own the Trojan "Rocksteady" Box Set which I personally consider a bit lackluster. I also have the "Club Reggae" Box Set which I give a hearty thumbs up to. But the "Tighten Up" Box Set is my favorite so far. You dig Reggae from the late 60's early 70's? "Tighten Up" fits the bill nicely. My only wish would be that some more detailed liner notes were included. Plus the original album cover art for the series was incredible but unfortunately not found with this re-issue package. But the most important ingredients are, of course, good music at a reasonable price, and with "Tighten Up" you get both.

5 out of 5 stars A masterpiece of compilation work!.......2002-01-26

2002 marks my tenth year of being a dedicated "Jamaican Sound" fanatic. In all those years I have been lucky enough to find some of the best music of the genre but this boxed set has knocked the wind from me. I've owned it for only a week and have listened to every track on every disc at least twice a day. I could extol the virtues of this set 'til I went blue in the face but even so I couldn't begin to describe how fantastic these tracks are. If you are a fan of the genre or have never heard a single Maytals cut in your life you have a real treat in store for you.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome Vintage Reggae.......2001-02-16

This three set is one of my favorite Reggae CD's. It has a lot of classic reggae tunes from the 60's and 70's and shows the roots of reggae beyond the masters - Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. A welcome addition to any reggae collection.
