In a media release, Konders explained the inclusion of a new track.

'Because we are promoting the new song with a video, we decided to include it. Burro has a global fan base that would be interested in his classics as well as a new release', said Konders.

Konders spoke about the timing of the release.

'There's no better time than now. Burro also tours regularly and it's good for his fans to get a package with his classic hits'.

Originally from the Grants Pen area of Kingston, Banton entered a talent competition held at Skateland in Half Way Tree in the mid 1970's.   Although he didn't win, it was encouraging enough for him to pursue a career in music.

He did stints with various sound systems including Black Hoover, Roots Unlimited, Gemini Sound, Volcano, Steromars and Kilamanjaro.  In the early 1990's he formed a business relationship with the New York based Massive B label.

Banton made his recording debut in the early 1980s with when he worked with producer General Plough. However, his first hit Boom Wah Dis came via producer Henry 'Junjo' Lawes' Volcano label.

To date, Banton has released four studio albums and several compilations.  Burro Banton's Greatest Hits is now available on all digital platforms : https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/massive-b-presents-burro-banton-greatest-hits/1377669001
