Black Disciples did a cut (instrumental) of "Rockfort Rock" where Jack Ruby names all the players of instruments. Very nice.

Oh but it's been mentioned I see, it's "Free Rhodesia" :-S

Did someone mention "Africa" by the Gaylads already? Wicked!!
And of course: Judah Eskender Tafari's "Jah Light".

I think thats the burning spear live session in Toronto 1976. That was a murderous intro, even though he cut off horsemouth when he was just about to go wild on those drums

One of my fave Intro is also Burning spear's "GROOVY"

"Why u get me so groovy? Why? Ehh!!!. Don't get me groovy Men"

I Know Myself - Ernest Wilson (I could listen to it during hours !)

Africa - Leroy Smart

The Wrong Thing - The Congos

Chase the Devil - Max Romeo

Natural Natty - Mighty Diamonds

Scandal - U Roy (a guy - thief ? - screaming)

Dreadful Day - Barry Brown (wonderful keyboard)

Fattie Fattie - the Heptones

Jah Seh No - Peter Tosh
Rumours Of War - Peter Tosh (both on Mystic Man)

Anthony "Cherry Rock" Ellis' "Double Minded Man" has a short but mad sax intro.

"Leroy Smart - I dont like it (cant remember the original name of the riddim)"

original is Heptones "Give Me The Right"

"Trying To Wreck Up My Life" (and I don't li-ike it).
Wicked selection.

I like the intro to Bobby melody's "Joy In the Morning".. original by the Gaylads I think.

U-Roy's "Runaway Girl" (on Barrington Spence's "Just Another Girl") has been my fave intro for as long as I can remember. 30 years or so.

Doesn't get any better than that for me.
