Better known for his love songs, Isaacs was equally adept at cultural themes. The tracks InchSet The Captives FreeInch and InchSlave MasterInch are among the most popular in his catalog, the latter immortalized on film in the movie Rockers. The track InchStormInch became an early dancehall favorite, it's rhythm track reimagined no fewer than 75 times over the last 40 years. Isaacs love of rocksteady shines in his cover of the Silvertones' InchSmile,Inch and his soulful side comes through on a cover of The Temptations' InchGet Ready.Inch The breadth of material on Mr. Isaacs is the hallmark of a reggae classic.

GREGORY ANTHONY ISAACS was born in Jamaica in 1951 and made his first recording as a teenager. He formed the African Museum record tag and shop with his friend and fellow artist Errol Dunkley at the turn of the Seventies. He cut his first hit, 'My Only Lover', for the tag, which is now regarded as the first lovers' rock record ever made. Our compilation focusses on Isaacs' most prolific and successful years working with Jamaica's top producers including Alvin Ranglin, Winston Holness, Gussie Clarke, Lloyd Campbell and Lee InchScratchInchPerry. He scored a string of hits including 'All I Have Is Love', Black A Kill Black', 'Sinner Man' and 'Slave Master', all featured here.  Isaacs would emerge from the Seventies as one of reggae music's international superstars alongside Bob Marley. His mid-late Seventies output laid the foundations for what was to become Dancehall and he continued to pioneer reggae music well into the Eighties and beyond.  In 1982 he released 'Night Nurse' which struck a chord with the wider public and was used in TV commercials for the cold & flu remedy. Simply Red covered the song in 1997 to huge acclaim. Isaacs last big splash came in 2008 when he received a Grammy nomination for his album Brand New Me. InchThe most exquisite vocalist in reggae.
