I find that alot of Lp's on the Sunset Harry J's label are often slept on. Many of these LP's are my favorite just for the fact that they are slept on and there is a number crazy unknown artist on that label as well. Such as:
Dignitary Stylish- Jah send me come
Lyrical-Market session
Bobby Melody- Live Stock
Courtney Melody- Bad Boy
Ugly man- Ugly Lover
Uglyman Vs. Little John
And tons of others..
Most of this stuff is early Black Scorpio & some Junjo lawes.. I guess It's like Rootsman said" not really underated but more underheard" It's a real shame.......
Respect

The Skatalites with Sly & Robbie and The Taxi Gang, pretty awful cover but killer instrumental with the very finest horns !!
