Jah Lion/ Columbia Colly
U-Roy/ The Lost Album (channel 1)
Burning Spear/ Marcus Children Suffer

Absolutely Essential

[Henrik]

Gladiators "Presenting" (studio 1)
Wailing Souls "Presenting" (studio 1)
Carlton & the Shoes "Love me forever" (studio 1)

All harmony groups, all coxsone/studio 1 productions, all debut albums; funny isn't it.
If you don't have these records, buy them (on vinyl!!). I am having these for more than 15 years; these ones really make a happy man.

Impossible!!
For me rasta is seasonal and locational. For example, summer differ from my favorites in winter. Reggae is the RHYTHM OF LIFE and ranging so vast in muzikal styles so there for meaning rasta always has a perfect time, place and vibe for the right situation. Top 20, no problem.
ITES!
