I would definitely include:

Check For You Once - Eddie Fitzroy
What Love Can Do - Brent Dowe

Both LPs exemplify some of the groups tightest ensemble playing IMO.

Wicked LPs, true.
I'd add Michael Prophets "Gunmen" and Cultural Roots' "Hell A Go Pop".
Gotta love the Radics!

I picked up this set recently and it's excellent!

[cover=5105,4140]

The 1984 record date is wrong, this is early Radics ca. '79-80, hard hard riddims.

I'd also like to push for the Edi Fitzroy LP and the Mikey Dread WWIII. Two of the absolute best Radics efforts in my opinion.

Lots of great albums listed. 2 of my favorites not mentioned yet are Don Carlos "Day to Day Living" and "Them Never Know Natty Dread Have Him Credential" Both albums are filled with such wicked riddims.

Would have to agree with the Edi Fitzroy album as well. Are there any albums that have dubs of these tracks?
