Myton took the idea to Blood and Fire, which chose Fisherman for the record. Credited to the Congos and Friends, it gathers versions by 22 artists over the rhythm, along with remixes of the original and a dub. Horace Andy sings Love Love Love, Gregory Isaacs Spot and Beat the Bank, Mykal Rose Let Your Love and Lutan Fyah Whitewash Walls, Prince Jazzbo toasts Live Good Today and Dean Fraser plays Fisherman's Anthem, with Big Youth, Max Romeo, U Roy, Sugar Minott, Dillinger, Luciano, Freddie McGregor and Tony Tuff among the rest. Perry's Bring the Mackaback closes it. Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald handled the edits, mixdown and mastering. XLR8R found that the versions stayed close to the spirit of the original.
