Mykesbass Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) Thought I'd flag this up - interesting 50 Years of VP Records Sampler free to download on Amazon, unfortunately, unlike previous Amazon giveaways, it is only shortened sample tracks : [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Years-Jamaican-Music-Commemorative-Sampler/dp/B008N16WAU/ref=lh_ni_t"]http://www.amazon.co...WAU/ref=lh_ni_t[/url] p.s. I have no connection to this deal, just spotted it this morning and felt it was worth sharing. Edited August 6, 2012 by Mykesbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstriper Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 They're just samples, not the full songs - as one reviewer put it: [quote][color=#333333][font=Arial,]What an absolute waste of time - not even worth downloading for free. A complete wind up as none of the songs last any length of time. On top of that a VERY annoying American-accented voiceover purporting to "educate" the listener. What was the point of this apart from irritating me?[/font][/color][/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame, Amazon have had some nice proper giveaways in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Rock Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Nice one Skank. The Shaft one is on a great Trojan compilation called 'Funky Kingston', which is a collection of funk songs done by reggae artists. Recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
