I have purchased Roots and Culture, 22 Karat Gold vol. 2, and the 2 LPs on 1 CD, Natty Too Tall.
There is a lot of variation in his sound and even in his voice. I tend to enjoy the earlier material better than the Live and Learn LPs. I noticed RA members know a lot about Al Campbell so, here are a lot of questions:
Which of his LPs/CDs are worth getting?
I notice Dancehall Stylee has the Radics on it. Is it as nice as the other LPs the Radics did in the early 80s?
Does he continue to use his Tabby sound-alike voice on all the material he did from 84 up?
Thanks for any help.

Re: Al Campbell LPs
You wont find much Al Campbell on CD which to be honest is a criminal injustice as he has such a fantastic catalogue of music.
Also to find his albums nowadays is pretty hard to find and can be expensive.
But what albums you can find purchase as they are all worth having in the collection.
My personal favorites though are
[cover=3913,839]
[cover=992,1146]
[cover=4633,3486]
Three great albums imo.
