So many great records by the man

"Ain`t that loving you" and "No More Runnings" are superb

I also really rate "Freedom Street"

and also this one from ther later part of the 80`s

I have said so many times before Al Campbell discography needs a serious re-issue program.

@vtov: Turn Me Loose is a wicked chune, but it's produced by Jo Jo Hookim for Channel One, originally released on the Well Charge label in 1982. In the late 90s Coxsone Dodd produced a remake on the original 'never let go' riddim for Studio One

and if i may add a couple of personal favourites that haven't been mentioned already:

Down Inna Babylon (larry lawrence & al campbel)
Back Off With Your Cocaine (sly & robbie)
Where Were You (phil pratt & lee perry)

OK. Answer = Never Let Go, but I may have to add another recommendation still. Is there a list of AC works on HitSound and/or produced by U. Brown? If not no worries, will find the HitSound single to add.

Okay, I decided to add another track that might be overlooked but is wonderful and meaningful too:

Na Leave Jamaica (album 'Fence too tall' from 1987, not on RA).

One of my all-time favourite singers, so many good records to choose from but for me his most outstanding track has to be "Late Night Blues" and overall I still rate his late 70s work the best

[cover=991,1145]

[cover=5399,4194]

[cover=4753,2736]

On Working Man the track "Who's Gonna Bell the Cat" is murderous, with Maxie's great version "Ganja Syrup" on this LP

[cover=1086,1250]
