Belize City Boil Up

I've been getting into the Eccentric Soul reissue series on the Numero Group label. Each ES album compiles singles put out by a long-forgotten, regional soul music label. The music is often rough, raw and unpolished, but thoroughly enjoyable. As I was browsing the Numero Group website, I came across this title, Belize City Boil Up. It made me think of the great music I heard when I was in Panama, a mix of reggae, rap, and Afro-funk.

This looks like a great series. And it reminds me of one of my favorite blind finds of the past few years, which is this:

I haven't heard #1 or #2 in the series. And I don't know if they had the money or material for a fourth.
