ʸᵒᵘ ᵒⁿˡʸ ˡⁱᵛᵉ ∞ⁿᶜᵉ Good collection here spanning most of the spectrum of what On-U sound has to offer. It would be cool to see other compilations put up here like "15 Years In An Open Boat" and "On-U Wild Paarty Sounds" & possibly the Power Inc. compilations. In fact more Tackhead/Fats Comet on bandcamp in general!

some of it can be found on Ketih LeBlanc's bandcamp, such as Major Malfunction and Stranger than Fiction., but we need more!

Otherwise this is a great introduction to the eclectic spread of On-U.

Love Love Love ON-U sound for decades of unwaveringly vital transmissions. Love their Pay It All Back comps for title/ethos alone (and one-shot rarities/spotlights) My favorite track changes every time I listen to this! Taking time to do the same is highly advised.. Rolling with the upful now just heard again on my 2nd time through whole tonight – wow this a great PIAB set 40 years from jump! Wow. Respect! MingTubbs

Impossible to convey into words my love and admiration for the one PRINCE FARI! His Quante Jubila was the intro song for my show ROOTS ROCK REGGAE on WXPN. Unique and amazing artist that was cut down in his youth. Edwah O'Neill
