"Exodus" / "Take My Hand Oh JAH" (Rootical Dubber) simply put _has_ to be one of the strongest roots anthems ever sung. I rest my case.

strong for sure but its the 12" cut thats the scorcher and not the 7 on rootical dubber
seems they added some background singing on the 7 repress what a shame

that background singing might've been on the original 7" pressing

His "Picture on the wall" LP for Coxsone Dodd is a real nice LP. Every track barr 1 or 2 is a winner. Freddie had an extraordinary voice and this LP should not be passed up.

Also check for his "Mop & Cry" 12" disco on the DEB label. Pure killer this one and was re-issued by "Badda" music in the UK last year. Well worth picking up.

"Lonely Man" is an immortal song..

Check out "Another Weekend" from the Roots Radics era, atop Johnny Osbourne's Kiss Somebody riddim...murder!

Your Right the "Picture on the Wall" Lp IMO is an all time Classic, i remember an Uncle of mine singing "Can't go on" virtually every time i saw him

Tribal inna Yard is certainly one of my favorites. Heavy rhythms deep message good vibes. Produced by genius such Linval Thompson and Delroy Wright this album is a prime. Roots Radics epic rhythms... very nice strictly roots
Respect

He had a great song in the album nice up the dance Love is a treasure Check dem out

Picture on the wall is purely a classic album with the song title being one of my favourite song on that album.
