The result was a wealth of superbly produced recordings that could rival the best that British pop music had to offer in terms of quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sound, which had a decisive influence on the development of Lovers Rock, eventually lost its prominence; yet after years of being considered “uncool,” “Commercial Reggae” is finally receiving widespread recognition again today for what it is: music that simply puts you in a good mood. This essential collection brings together many of the best examples of this sound, combining significant works with long-forgotten classics from the archives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reggae-vinyl-records\"\u003eReggae\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Dutch Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50630678741057,"sku":"2558449","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/4099964216677.jpg?v=1791441012","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/various-artists-sweet-inspiration-guilty-reggae-pleasures-lp-388297","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
