Chris Blackwellが1959年にジャマイカで設立した、レゲエの名門“ISLAND”レーベル。レゲエという呼称がまだ存在せず、ラジオから聞こえてくるアメリカのヒット・ポップスをカヴァーしたシングルが国内だけでヒットしていた60年代のレゲエ創成期から、Bob Marleyの登場によりレゲエとラスタ・カルチャーが世界へ飛躍した70年代の拡大期、そして2000年代のレゲエ・ヒップホップ・ブーム=世界のメイン・ストリームへと進化した最盛期まで、“ISLAND”が世界に発信してきた名曲/人気曲128曲を8枚組ボックスに完全収録!
世界初のレゲエ・ヒットと言われるMillie Small「Lolli Pop」、スカの重鎮バンドToots and The Maytal、「The Harder They Come」を生み出したJimmy Cliff、ダブ・サウンドの重要人物Lee "Scratch" Perry、80年代のロンドンを拠点にヒットを連発したAswad、Black Uhuru、Burning Spear、Sly & Robbie、Steel Pulse、そしてヒップホップとレゲエの融合を決定的にしたBeenie ManやDamian Marley等々、世界のレゲエ・シーンを変えた大物アーティストの重要曲がギッシリ詰まったスーパー・ボックス・セット。
