Congo Ashanti Roy -Sign of the star
[cover=190,203]
this has been one of my alltime favorite sets since hearing it many years ago. from the other half of the congos, this is a killer record with killer riddims produced by prince far i. definitely check this out if you havent heard it!

Not underrated at all by reggae lovers (considering the price it sells on ebay) but underrated by Pablo Moses himself I would say as he almost never plays its tunes in concert, which upsets me a lot

.
This album is my favorite reggae album (I had a doubt before but now I'm sure), I love it from the first second to the last, a pure masterpiece.
Taken one by one, the 11 tunes aren't the 11 best tunes among all reggae tunes but it has the best unity I know for an album.
By the way, can anyone confirm that the title *We should be in Angola* appears only on the Blue Moon CD (as R-A states) or is on a vinyl release ? I have a CD-R of that Blue Moon CD since 98/99 but I'm seriously looking for an original LP (pre 1980).

These may not be exactly underrated, but they do seem somewhat under the radar/less appreciated.
DEB Music Players - House Of Dub (1979) DEB Music
Mike Brooks - ANY of his lp's or compilations.
Captain Sinbad possibly. ???

I believe many of these albums that people deem as "underated" are not as much underated as "Underheard".
There are vast amounts of great great albums that are never mentioned, not because they are "Underated" but because they are totally unavailable.
You can only really comment on what you have listened too, and for ebvery one album yopu can get your hand on, there are probably three or for that you can`t.
I personally love the Bobby Melody albums, and he`s another artist whos work in not mentioned that often.
