Krawl if you are still looking for some recommended pressure sounds sounds, may I suggest these:
" Randy's 17 North Parade" My guiding star - Delroy "Crutches" Jones & "Cheater" - Dennis Brown a crisp tune with great lyrics like "remember last friday night when you stole my pants off the line..."
"Down Santic Way" and "Santic Friends" for excellent Horace Andy, Augustus Pablo, Jah Llyod (Jah Lion) and Gregory Isaacs listed as William Shakespeare.
And finally "Aquarius Rock" what disc containing a track called "Snowball & Pudding" couldn't be top class. All the best.

I definitely go for Keith Hudson's Brand
which sadly seems to be deleted now.

Go for anything they've repressed by Prince Far I - All are HUGE tunes, be they dub or vocal stylee. And all seem faithfully reproduced from originals.

Was thinking of starting a 'best Pressure Sounds LPs' thread, but found this one instead...

I love what Pressure Sounds have done with 99% of their re-issues and compilations, but these are my favourites:

[cover=411,501] [cover=1095,1259] [cover=1625,1888] [cover=407,497]

It's really hard to choose a top five from such a great label, but here goes:

1. Straight To The Head
2. Voodooism
3. Pick Up The Pieces
4. Randy's 17 North Parade
5. Roots Techniques

Almost their entire catalogue is available for (legal) download on emusic.com and you can listen to samples of every track without registering.

I have about a third of their releases, and I like them all, but there are a few that I rate as a cut above:

1.Produced and Directed by the Upsetter
2.Roots Techniques
3.An Even Harder Shade Of Black
4.In Fine Style
5.Nuh Skin Up

I like a lot of the 7's they release that aren't on any of the albums - like 'Jah Creation' by Creole and 'Disco Jack' by Jackie Mittoo.
