New music, old reggae

OK, young people. Other than Lucky Soul whose good and got a new "LP" out in the "record shops" that is worth downloading. Just listening to the new Magic Numbers effort. Not as good as the first IMHO. Got to have a tune and some clever lyrics.

Old people, been catching up on my old roots reggae LPs on my ipod such Burning Spear, Mighty Diamonds and Dr Alimantado but what gaps are there in my collection? Five best Roots albums anyone?

Comments

  • Tighten up Vol 2
  • You can download the rest of the 'Ain't never been cool' EP in a couple of weeks
  • I recommend Bunny Wailer - Blackheart Man.
  • Cheers Sco, I chase that up. Any others?

    Rothko, got the download you sent me. Good stuff.

    Solidgone, bet you only bought them for the women on the cover. ;-) Have a few on vinyl but sold loads of vinyl in 78 to go on holiday.
  • My vinyl of tighten up disappeared yonks ago but recently bought the CD which doesnt have 'that' cover.....arhhhhh.....the memories..... cha man!

    Seu Jorge

    Definately worth a listen
  • Anything by Augustus Pablo.

    The Abyssinians: Satta Massa Gana

    Culture: The Two Sevens Clash

    Keith Hudson: Rasta Communication

    Any John Holt, Alton Ellis or Dennis Brown (for the soulful singers)

    Big Yout: Screaming Target or Tappa Zukie: Best of the Frontline for the DJs

    Eek-A-Mouse for something unique

    Count Ossie and the Mystic Reveleation of Rastafari: Grounation (for something Rastafari) or, alternatively, Ras Michael and the Sons of Negus

    What about Shaggy?

    Riscardo, that is good but I can't get past it being Bowie.

    Lookie/badger

    Augustus paublo - king of the melodica - Love him (New Generation) and two seven clash is fantastic. I will check out some of the others but Shaggy a bit recent and pop for me for me

  • Was a joke there H!
  • That's the point, I'm not down with Bowie .... but this does it for me.
  • I can't stand Bowie but more on principle than the music. I'll give it a proper listen.
