The Front Line was a roaring success, becoming the biggest selling reggae album of the year in the UK, probably due in no small part to the 69p price tag. Presented on disc one of this set, it's easy to see why the release caught the imagination of a public only recently turned on to Jamaican music, mainly through Bob Marley and the Wailers. A reproduced vintage Front Line advert points out that ‘seven Bob Marley albums don’t make a reggae collection’ and Sounds of Reality is a great introduction to the breadth of music that made up the late 70s roots reggae scene. Learned heads may take issue with the hit-and-miss nature of some of the choices on this compilation, but nevertheless it’s packed full of evidence of both the excellent and the interesting sides of the Front Line era.

The five CDs here do a commendable job of sampling what Branson’s sack of cash purchased, while the accompanying booklet includes evocative photos, press clips, capsule profiles of the acts and a funny, gracious foreword from Lydon: It was all so inspiring. Not everything on Front Line was rightous and rootsical. The label’s biggest hit was Uptown Top Ranking by Althea and Donna, two uptown girls on a lark, who have a couple of likewise lightweight cuts here. Oh That’s my latest album’- the first time I saw John turm red. What about the music you brought back? It’s very special, the last golden moments of roots reggae.
