Most everyone, I suppose, will point you towards "Trenchtown Mix Up".

But I much prefer the earlier stuff.

In two weeks this will released by Heartbeat. Or rather re-released with a different cover.
[cover=5697,4283]

This is fantastic:
[cover=47,46]

I'll be going to that gig myself Kemar, just doing some homework so i can go with overstanding. I should know more about them seen as most of favourite acts are vocal groups like the wailers, mighty diamonds, wailing souls & black uhuru.

"dreadlocks the time is now" from the "proverbial reggae" album is a favorite gladiators tune of mine.

Everyone has already named my favorites but here's a new one:

I really like "Tribulation" from the 'Gladiators at Studio One: Bongo Red'

If I remember correctly, Clinton Fearon on lead and it was previously unreleased.
