Or do it in the Reggaepedia. There's already a start there - it only needs to be extended.

I personally don't really like that Blacka T album. I wouldn't buy it. You can listen to it here:

Thanks Bonga, I tracked down a digi copy also.
A dub companion to this would be killer!!!
Most of the songs 'are not' that vocally amazing though you're right.

The rarest LPs i own are D-Roy band- Orthodox Dub and Bunny Lion- Red. Neither of them are too rare but they're the rarest i've -sniff- got...

Birth of ska - Treasure Isle 1st press
The Upsetters Return of the Super Ape - Not on Lion of Judah. That aint first press as everyone think, it's the "cloud" label that is the first press and super rare.
King Tubby's Prophecy of Dub (UK Prophets)
Best of the Wailers on JA Power Label (has a black fist, Black Power-syle. wish i had it)
Words in dub (Spear riddims etc)

The Jah Palm LP metnioned earlier should be better known. Dunno whether it is that rare but I aint seen it since i bought it on the strenght of a review in Black Echoes. It is a proper roots lp that came out in the 80s during the digi boom so it went missing. nice to see somebody else appreciate it.

Reggae Regulars 12' black starliner (extended version) , with "Where is Jah" on side 2

Earl Moodie & Tad Dawkins

released on 'Great' label. I've seen in it once some 25 years ago. I never seen it again.
Nice early Wackies sound!

Found it last august at a small record fair ( 25 euro.. )

Record is 100 % original.. However I think the sleeve was made at a later moment. Saw 5 to 10 original Wackies albums there. All in blank sleeve with a black and white printed paper glued on the jacket..

Just like you can clearly see is done here in the 70s..

Hi suzifan,
can you please provide any more information of that "cloud" label?
I never seen or even heard of it. And if you're right, then Gary Simons and David Katz are both wrong in their Lee Perry Discographies.
