The Best Of Vol. 2 (1981) GG’s. The Early Years (1981) Trojan. Night Nurse (1982) Island/Mango. The Sensational (1982) Vista Sounds. As such, it offered confirmation of Gregory Isaacs’ maturity. The album was issued just before the period of his greatest successes, but in it he shows that he had fully developed the dual persona he would project in his music over the next few years. He had also fully absorbed what appear to have been his main stylistic influences – John Holt and Alton Ellis – and was singing beautifully. In the second half of the eighties Gregory Isaacs decided to revitalize his career and surely was the most high prolific reggae artist of that time as he recorded for almost every producer in Jamaica including King Jammy, Bobby Digital, Steely & Clevie, Redman, Sly & Robbie, King Tubby, and Gussie Clarke.

01. Private Beach Party 02. Wish You Were Mine 03. Feeling Irie feat. Reggae Legends, Vol. 2 collects four albums of smooth-voiced reggae crooner Gregory Isaacs' ouvre with a focus on a particularly fertile period in the mid- to late '80s. Though many look to the mid-'70s for evidence of some type of lasting "golden age" in roots reggae, the albums presented here offer a strong argument for continued greatness in organic songcraft as digital production spread increasingly throughout circles of mainstream reggae.

One of Jamaica’s most beloved vocalists who was as pertinent in dancehalls as he was in bedrooms, Gregory Isaacs’ career stretched over 30 years. Released in 1975, In Person, for example, features a heavy-hitting collection of successes for producer Alvin Ranglin and was followed up in 1977 by Best Of, Vol. 1 and Best Of, Vol. 2 in 1981. The Heartbeat label would bundle up this material across three CDs for the . market: My Number One, Love Is Overdue, and The Best Of, Vols. Similarly, 1976’s All I Have Is Love includes a hit-filled package of Sydney Crooks productions. The two singers dueted again on a track on Isaacs’ 1995 solo album, Private Beach Party, which also boasted an exquisite Feeling Irie, which paired him with Carlene Davis.
