Reggae powerhouse VP Records is set to release a 3CD boxset celebrating Jamaica's 50th year of Independence, writes Jamaica Observer. It’s titled 'Out Of Many: 50 Years of Reggae Music', and is scheduled for release in late July.

'Out Of Many: 50 Years of Reggae Music' includes Trinidadian singer Lord Creator's Independent Jamaica, a song released in 1962 to mark Jamaica's Independence from Britain in August that year, and 49 other songs, one for each year.

The compilation will also include immortal classics such as Hopeton Lewis’ early rocksteady hit Take It Easy, Dave & Ansell Collins’ funky Double Barrel and Culture’s apocalyptic Two Sevens Clash as well as newer gems such as Sean Paul and Gyptian’s more recent smash hits Get Busy and Hold You.
