A few months ago, I contacted the label which is re-issuing Ijahman's catalogue. The label owner said that ALL of Ijahman's 36 LPs will eventually be re-released. He seems to be doing about 5 at a time.
I have everything from Haile I Hymn to Inside Out and then several (but not ALL) of his LPs released after that.
I would recommend Beauty and the Lion it is a very nice LP. Also Over Europe Live, Tell It to the Children, Lilly of My Valley, Africa, and Forward Rastaman have all been re-released and each is exceptional and worth purchasing. IMHO, Tell it to the Children is best with Africa and Lilly very, very close behind. Over Europe is a great live LP and Forward Rastaman has a different sound but is still very consistently good (one of the best late 80s albums) it has a similar sound to Culture Country and Inside Out.
Out of his 90s Lps, I would recommend Kingfari the most. I paid $30 for my copy and would certainly recommend picking it up when it gets rereleased.

just seen ernie b has listed 14 ijahman cds. a lot of good ones. be worth getting now before they sell out, and your forced to pay maybe double on ebay. would love to see his later albums issued on vinyl. have his first 20 up to 'ijahman and bob in dub' but would love to have the latest ones too.
