i have been listening to glady anderson's great instrumental set 'glady unlimited' a lot lately, and wonder what are some of your favorite instrumental albums (not dub sets, but recorded as instrumentals..)

Glady Anderson-Glady Unlimited
Negril-Negril
Ernest Ranglin-Below the bassline
Harold Butler-Africa on My Mind
Lennie Hibbert-Creation - such a sweet sounding record!
Chinna-Sticky Fingers
Skatalites-African Roots
Vin Gordon-Way Over Yonder
Willie Lindo-It's Not Too Late
Cedric Im Brooks-United Africa
Carl Harvey-Ecstacy of Mankind
Rico Rodriguez-Man From Wareika

WORD on pablo "this is..." - a constant play around here!
REALLY digging the solid simplicity of trojan's reissue of hippy boys "reggae with the hippy boys" too!

Tommy McCook and the supersonic-Top Secret

Tommy McCook and Bobby Ellis-Green Mango

Downbeat the ruler-killer instrumentals from studio one

Ernest Ranglin-Surfin(2005 release)

and finally my personal holy grail, a super rare dry instrumental mix of Soul Syndicates Harvest uptown Famine downtown

Well why not as they were so damn good!!! And the Aggrolites which has some Rhythm Doctors' guys is not bad either. Saw them playing last year in Turku, Finland where I'm from. They have lots of instrumental tracks too... I could gladly give recommendations to all three Aggro albums, they are aimed at the fans of good old-school reggae.

Ive seen both bands play, I know the drummer Cory, he plays on and off with the Aggrolites but an original with the Rhythm Doctors. I personally like the Rhythm Doctors better.
