I love his slide guitar work on Big Youth's "Live At Reggae Sunsplash" and on Johnny Clarke's "Enter Into His Gates".

Does anyone have any other specific recommendations for great songs or albums which feature Chinna's playing.

I realize he's played on hundreds of records, so I'm not looking for a list (like the one found on this wonderful site) of all his lead guitar credits --- what are your favorite songs/albums with Chinna on it?

Thanks.

HE wasn't a bad producer either...as this 45 will attest.
