I dont know to much about Jah Lloyd / Jah Lion although I do have the "Coumbia Colly" album which I really like.
What else from this list are must have / worth having ?
What are the dubs like ?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

" Herbs Of Dub " and " Soldier Round The Corner " definitely worth getting IMO.If you don`t mind CD`s,get the " A Double Helping...." to combine these two." Herbs .." is a good groove,Tubby style

Jah Lloyd's "Trod along", which can be found on this CD is an absolute masterpiece, imho

Colombia Collie - Must have Perry production. Everyone had this LP on their shelf back in the day.
Herbs of Dub - Easy to get on repress but originals are rare and expensive. Well worth getting as it's great heavyweight dubbing.
But also you might like this:

Personally I rate the dub companion to Leggo's recommendation higher

I agree. I'm not personally a huge fan of the vocal LP, it's good, but not great. The dub is excellent - but I believe it is quite rare and hard to find!
