Timeless tracks from the era when dancehall started to dominate. The 2013 Greensleeves/VP re-release of FOLLY RANKING is a fantastic sounding vinyl record, boasting a rich bass, and a clear, sharp audio experience. The vinyl is perfectly flat and silent, with no noticeable surface noise. Truly excellent.
