congrats to all the winners! we're ALL winners, though - we get to listen to all this AMAZING music! NOT ONE of my top votes won, haha!
peace and level vibes to all!

None of my votes either!

I think I might have voted for the Dennis Alcapone though.

Glad that Studio One Roots Vol. 3 won.

I was sure that Kiddus I would be one of the winners because such a reissue doesn't happen every day.

more of this awards will prevent d foundation dub from disappearing....
I'm not sayin dat it is though...
'corn grass' to all d winners!
Bless.

I was surpised that Bim Sherman "Trubulation Time" did not figure in the vocal category.

Also how do you categorise "Re-Issue" ? as to my way of thinking a reissue is a straight re-release of the original album.

For instance Revolutionaries "Roots Man Dub" and Tappa Zukie "Escape From Hell" were both put out with 10 bonus tracks so strictly speaking are these really re-issues or re-packaged.

I knows it not really a relevant question but it has had me wondering.
