Not my favourite musicaly , but that Byron Lee with a gorgeous girl in a wet Jamaica shirt has always stuck in my head.
Positive and Constructive Rockers
Bunny Lie Lie in Africa
JAh Children Invasion
Studio 1 Showcase Vol 2 silkscreen cover
Flesh of My Skin Blood of Blood
Torch of Freedom
Solid Gold (Studio 1)
Totally agree wtih you on the Flick Wilson...although the tunes add to the allure.

Ricos Man from Wareika must get a mention! And then I'm in love with almost 99% of all covers done by Jamaal Pete, Tony McDermott and Limonious.
Anyone knows what has happened to these artists? Limonious died a couple of years ago I heard. But what do Jamaal Peete and Tony McDermott do?
