Ahh I see, a Bagga Case design.
Thank you Bonga.
Pretty amazing, wouldn't jump right out as a Rockers LP that's for sure.
How's it sound?

Found LP covers to 'Them A Raiders' :

'Yami Meets Lloyd' i'm assuming is exact same as the cd?
'Black T' been sorted by Roddy and Bonga.

I'll up some pics of that Rockers LP on Overheat if anyone is interested.

[Jah B - Live Up](http://www.roots-archives.com/release/3656)
Helps being in Toronto to find a copy but some very nice roots on this LP well EP... He does also have a 7" on a JA label called Burning Fire titled Warning.

I think the Jah B album is terribly overrated. I saw it go for $100+ once which was a real chocker (I bought it for a fraction of that price). The rhythms and dubs are excellent but Jah B really can't sing. It's one of the worst vocalists I've heard on an album.

Any information on who he is? Someone should really write a book on Canadian reggae.

I feel that is part of the charm imho, like the early Delano Tucker tracks.

Perhaps ... I do often enjoy when singers have more heart than technique. A thing very common in reggae ... and also something that makes the music so vibrant. But Jah B for me is just too much. Would have loved to hear a nice roots singer over those rhythms instead. I'm thinking of other Canadian singers such as Noel Ellis, Leroy Brown or Howie Smart could have made the LP a holy grail of reggae instead of a rare but uneven treat.

... oh, and sorry for going off topic. :)

We should get a couple friends together RasDragon and get a Canadian chapter in the Reggae Rough Guide.
