yeah well, It's quite confusing because several tunes mentioned are (as far as I know ) solo singles or tunes with other artists....
On Broadway - solo tune...
Just my imagination - Barker & Lloyd charmers...
only the strong survive - solo tune..
And I even doubt if some of the tunes are by Barker at all....(like burning love for example...)

Thanks everybody for the info. I got a hold of this 5-disc box set "Ultimate Reggae" from Pegasus label, where one disc was a so-called Best of Dave & Ansell Collins CD. However, no liner notes, that's why i appreciate all the info all of you shared. Apparently, seems like this compilation is more of a Dave Barker best of.
