I personnaly love some sessions in which he has a very specific sound you can hear on the whole Sugar Minott Ghettology, you know that strange sound that gives a great atmosphere to "the people ought to know"

Thank you Papa Ahmz. I always wondered whether **"Harvest Uptown, Famine Downtown"** was killer or filler. I will definitely check it out.

And thank you Matthew and Benjamin. I will add **"Dub It"** and **"Ghettology"** to my ever-growing "to purchase" list.

Great records he played lead guitar on are :
- Burning Spear - Marcus Garvey/Garvey's Ghost
- Abyssinians - Forward
- Abyssinians - Arise
- Hugh mundell - Africa Must Be Free
- Justin Hinds & Dominoes - Jezebel
- Augustus Pablo - East of River Nile
- Ras Michael & Sons Negus - Disarmament (Chinna's tracks are recorded at Perry's Black Ark. One of the best ever...).
- ... if you don have these; get them.

Sticky Fingers is a great solo album... nice sleeve as well.
