The third volume New Style Rockers features songs from the 80’s digital era as Junior Delgado Raggamufin Year. Last disc Rockers Rarities presents rarities, unreleased tracks by Earl 16 and Lloyd Hemmings, and includes some tunes previously only available on vinyl as great Asher & Tremble’s Humble Yourself.
