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?

Add to the Marley albums:
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
