your momma 1:43 AM - 23 June, 2017
anyone got any favorites?

all the Bob Marley albums are getting re released on heavy vinyl with mp3 downloads, but i'm talking old records you find digging in record stores.

i found some good ones for cheap.

whats your favorite old school reggae versus current reggae/ dancehall?

Bunny Wailer & Peter Tosh - basically every album
The Mighty Diamonds - Right Time
The Heptones - Night Food
Soundtracks to Countryman, Rockers and The Harder They Come (although this is a bit earlier in sound)
Dennis Brown - Wolf & Leopards, Words Of Wisdom, Foul Play
Gregory Isaacs - All I Have Is Love, Extra Classic, Mr Isaacs, Soon Forward
U-Roy - Dread In A Babylon, Natty Rebel
Big Youth - Dread Locks Dread, Natty Cultural Dread, Hit The Road Jack
The Gladiators - Trenchtown Mix Up
Leroy Smart - Ballistic Affair

Oh this list could go on forever... this is very 70s heavy here
