Clive Field Marshall - Rent Man

Probably more tunes on Wackies since it's a NY-based label?

cool, thank you...i already have some of those ready for the mix, like black uhuru and i roy, and dillinger...but don't know the others...in particular, i am seeking straight up reggae and dj music from the 70s.
i am gonna check the suggestions out. the culture song is ok but i don't really dig some of the effects on the instruments, which is strange because i really like the whole chill out album!
thank you again
