Maybe one day not too far away Lloyd Barnes will put together the works Barrington Spence did for him.
There are more than just some records he made on the Wackies label....

I'm only aware of 2 or 3 records he did for Wackies, what is the rest, apart from Rockers Time, Step In Jah Jah, and another one I can't remember...

Dunno what you mean with "full" records Teo (what happened to Capslock... :) ?), but those two are single tracks, at least Step In Jah Jah was a single, Rockers Time came upon a Wackie compilation, check the archives for B. Spence and you'll see it

Just to name some songs he did for Wackies...
Yard A Roots
Rockers Time
Down in the Valley
Happy Love
Step in Jah Jah
...these alone with their respective versions would make a very fine album.

I remember that a friend of mine had a song by him called Jah Jah Train, a cut to Big Youth's Train To Rhodesia on Horse / Trojan. I thought it and the instrumental by Skin Flesh & Bones was BOSS!

Yeah that Jah Jah Train is a version of Ken Boothe's Train Is Coming, the Studio One classic, and it was a sizeable hit for Spence, even bigger from that Skin Flesh & Bones period was Darling Dry Your Eyes. But Jah Jah Train is a ruff piece of music, a Spence favoutite and its included on several Trojan compilations check the box sets for example

"Favoutite", I mean favourite. Yes Belly, there you go he did a lot more than I expected for Wackies then. Step In Jah Jah is a wicked piece of steppers that should come out again, not heard the other tunes
