Oh shoot, I thought I figured out how to do that album cover thing, and it didn't work at all!!

I guess I'm too inept. I was so excited to have figured that out too!! Well, here's what I meant to list!!
I'll do it the old fashioned way.

I have a particular soft spot for Nightfall and the Water Pumping lp. Though I've really cared much for the song Water Pumping.

that double release on greensleeves is essential.

despite all the labba labba, the studio one truth and rights certainly has its high points.

i would also recommend the lp yo yo which contains very rootical mixes of some of his best songs, and also musical chopper. in nah disco style lp is killer too but very hard to find and expensive these days (on cha cha label) but much of the material has been issued on other cd compilations like the one on munich records which seems to be out of print.

and johnny osbourne most wanted on greensleeves cd contains a lot of his best 12" singles and is essential imo.

Man, something's wrong with me today!!!!
I meant "I've never really cared much for the song Water Pumping"

OK, time for a nap or something. Or to go soak my head.

ha, ha. Same thing happened to me a few days ago trying to insert the pics! Still don't know how to do it!

That (bizarre insertion of) Tappa Escape from Hell cover is AWESOME!

Ha, yeah, actually that Tappa cover freaked me out because I'd never seen it before!!!! I thought What the Hell is That!?

Well, I'll leave the fancy cover inserts to the experts for now.

Oh, i had to look it up - I thought for a minute it might be the other Osbourne - you know, Ozzy!

Freaky cover though - especially for a JA release...

Well I took the plunge. Love the Radics so I ordered Fally Lover and Truths & Rights after your advice.

Good choices! I think if you took all the good tracks off Fally Lover and Never Stop Fighting and put them out as one lp, you'd have a complete classic!! Fally Lover is better I think, but the tunes Never Stop Fighting and Love is Universal are great. I think if I remember right, a lot of the Never Stop Fighting dubs are on Scientist Wins the World Cup.

I just spent the past half hour try to find a copy of the Trojan 2 CD Come Back Darling - to BUY mind you! - not even available direct from Trojan!
I tried a few other sites too and it seems hard to get. So even when I am ready and willing to shell out a few $$ - I can't! what a great system!

Looks like a nice set though...

there is this one on techniques:

its not the one youre looking for but imo its better. the trojan one is full of what i consider filler material, barely related instrumental versions and very old over-issued stuff.

pm me if you want it though...i believe i have a copy that i would let go or even copy for you if it is truly out of print.
