Sound system culture was a vital part of the golden era of ska and rocksteady, and "toasting" was a vital part of sound system culture. No one as better at it than U-Roy. Acting as the toaster/deejay for Duke Reid's sound system, U-Roy's impact is immeasurable. Version Galore isn't just the lofty standard set for all future Jamaican deejay records, but also a key ingredient to what would eventually become hip hop. Version Galore also plays like a masterful mix tape of the best sounds coming out of Duke Reid's Treasure Isle Studio.
