The hit "Murder She Wrote," for example, is an obvious choice, yet it features some of Demus' most awkward toasting and Pliers' most off-key singing. The problem is that the material most likely to end up on such a collection isn't always the best they have to offer. But their albums are actually rather spotty, making a collection like this especially welcome. So one would expect their output to be a bit more consistent. DJ Chaka Demus and singer Pliers are a real double threat: Both are highly gifted artists, one of them a better-than-average dancehall toaster and the other a sweet-voiced crooner with a cool, assured delivery, and they have managed to attract the attention of some of reggae's finest producers, most notably Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare.
