I'd like to say thanks to all of you guys once again:) You've been the biggest help I could have ever gotten. I went out the other day and bought a few records:

Peter Tosh: Legalize it
Max Romea: War ina babylon
Lee Perry: Pressure sounds 19

3 brilliant prodcutions, and I have been listening to em non stop ever since I almost ordered Heart of the congos, and a twinkle brothers cd:)

Raei; Next time make sure to pick both the Heart of The Congos and the Twinkle Brothers CD (especially if it's Countrymen). You won't be disappointed.

Hope you enjoy the ones you got.

If you ever buy Heart of The Congos and want the best sound possible avoid the VP release.

I really enjoy Barry Brown - Superstar
Leroy Brown - Color Barrier
Barry Brown & Little John - Showdown no. 1, which features Little John's Sometime I am Shy, one of my favorites of all time!

Oh yeah, all of the others mentioned by the massive and all of the others not mentioned. Can't have all your roots at once. Build you collection and enjoy each new tune. I bet even collectors like Leggo Rocker still find new tunes!
Respect.
