Of his Greensleeves LP's I think Wins the World Cup and Rids the World of the ... are the finest.
The Best Dub Album In The World (Introducing Scientist) is a really fine album but also very rare and expensive so that one is perhaps better being satisfied on having in mp3.
Dub Landing is a brilliant album that was reissued not too long ago so probably not too difficult to find.
These are the four albums of his that I've enjoyed the most. But he of course has several other great albums too.

plenty of great dub LP's which have scientists name on them or in the credits - and he is likely to be the engineer on many others uncredited - a few more favorites (in no order)
1. three the hard way (silver camel) + barnabas and maxie
2. yabby you & michael prophet meets scientist at dub station (vivien jackson)
3. dub merchant (dread at the controls)
4. scientific dub(clocktower)
5. heavy metal dub(clocktower)
6. allied dub selection (tads)
7. dub catalogue vol 1(dread at the controls)
8. radicfaction (cha cha)
9. seducer dubwise (hitbound)
10. meets rots radics (selena)
11. ghettology dubwise (black roots)
12. introducing (JB)
13. ranking dread in dub (silver camel)+ king tubby
14. 1st 2nd 3rd generation of dub (KG Imperial) + tubby & jammy

'In the Kingdom of Dub' is a good one. Though apparently there are issues with some of the tracks on the latest CD version.
(bonus tracks not Scientist but labelled so, I think)
'...Wins The World Cup' is probably my fave though.

Introducing scientist was re-issued under different name & cover on cd & lp by jet star- dub landing has been deleted, so worth picking up (similar period to SPACE INVADERS lp)- no-one mentioned HEAVYWEIGHT DUB CHAMPION- BIG SHOWDOWN (with Jammy) & Strike Back (trojan)- both miles better than world cup!!!
The dub side of DANCE PON THE CORNER-Jah Thomas is one of his best as well...
...& there is more...

i think those were the Crucial Cuts Vol. 1 & 2 that were done for Roy Cousins? i have them, haven't broken them out in a long while but i remember them as being excellent.
Scientist also engineered at Studio One for a short period and worked, of course, uncredited. i think that the dub version of Marcia Griffiths "Truly" sounds an awful lot like him.

I love that crazy one "Rids The World Of The Evil Curse Of The Vampires".
MASSIVE!
