Should more later reggae be added to the RA listing

[Rootsman]

I was just wondering whether the RA people should review the current position on reggae that is recorded in the late 80`s.

I agree that the classic period for reggae was the pre-digital era and until recently have largely ignored music recorded after 1985.

But recently, I have picked up on several albums recorded 1986 & 1987 and have been really impressed.

Items such as

Coco Tea - Come Again
Frankie Paul - Hand Cart Man
Echo Minott meets Frankie Paul
Sugar Minott - Dem Ah Wolf.

I have really been impressed with these albums and it makes me beg the question. How many really good albums from 1987 / 1988 are unknown to me because they have never been listed here due to their record date.

Any thoughts on this topic or heads up on albums I should acquire that are in the vein of those I listed.

ah, parish was deya big time also, if it all come up some where as a proper list it would be more dan dread but somehow that generation of people is kinda unsteady, nobody want keep records for too long some even throw tune away tun wah eva else drive big car and check women, those people used to know tune but they probably forget already everything they knew

to me, there is yet too much digital things on RA so no, in roots-archives, you have "roots"

it's up to you to begin a digital-archives on the same model

YES! This site has assembled a very serious group of music fans. We can still have intelligent discussion on newer music.

Nitty Gritty & Tenor Saw - There is quite a few LPs not listed in the RA from these artists.
