You Favorite LP?

[mexikojah]

JUST WONDERING, YOU MAY HAVE MANY FAVORITE ALBUMS/RECORDS, BUT WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE LP FROM THE EARLY 1980'S DANCEHALL ERA?

[mick d]

it's really hard to choose one lp from the early 80s period, as this was a great era for reggae in my opinion. my favorites are lps produced by junjo and linval thompson, such as:

johnny osbourne - fally lover + never stop fighting + nightfall
don carlos - day to day living
freddie macgregor - big ship
hugh mundell - mundell
michael prophet - righteous are the conquerer + self-titled
barrington levy - englishman + robinhood + poor man style
cultural roots - hell a go pop
wayne jarrett - chip in
wailing souls - firehouse rock + inchpinchers
linval thompson - baby father + look how me sexy

these are all personal favorites that i feel are on the same level with each other, so i can't name one as my top pick.

Lots of other great Wackies stuff from this era. Too many great compilations to mention as well.

If I only had to choose one I would probably (today) be;
[cover=601,711]

For me it's the perfect deejay-album.
