Strictly Gladiators on their Trenchtown Mix Up album.
The Ovationz are deep and heavy.
Not to forget The Meditations and The Heptones.

personally, i think the congos and the maytones rank up there with the best harmony groups. the vocals on heart of the congos and congo ashanti are some of the best i have heard, and the maytones, one way album, or keep the fire burning are fine examples of their work too. shame the maytones never made it bigger during the 70s. i wonder if they had 'locksed up' would they have been signed by virgin back then. kinda glad they didnt. does anyone rate the itals. i like this group too. early recordings, and rasta philosophy are 2 nice records by them.
