Nice choice !

I add : "Message to the nation", by Tony (Clinton) Fearon (Upsetter 7")

[Rootsman]

Big Joe "At The Control" and Michael Prophet Serious Reasoning both available on CD but are ridiculously expensive

Dave

[kalcidis]

Big Joe At The Control was reissued not to long ago. And not to expensive either; £10 for the LP.

[Norbert]

... would put a compilation together with songs of Higgs & Wilson. Really great stuff!

[Bassi]

Nice thread, Mr. Dread !

I would reissue these: (on cd with the 12 inch bonus tracks, the extensive liner notes, the whole package ya know)

Gregory Isaacs - Lonely Lover
Sugar Minott - Roots Lovers
Barry Brown - Not So Lucky
Mighty Diamonds - Changes

[O.Mind]

Bob Andy - Songbook

and some Rocksteady also.

[bmd]

I would re-release
Doctor Alimantado
'still alive' /
'life all over' greensleeves 7"

Johnny Clarke -
Don't Go - Pep
I'm alone - Tree Roots

Junior Soul - Hustler

Viceroys - Work It

But most particularly the entire back catalogue of everything Harry Mudie ever put out... even if it was poop...

[davek]

.........I would immeditately burn it down, and collect the insurance money. You can't make money on records anymore.

But I *would* like someone else to finally break into the Beverley's vault and issue a 4 CD, properly annotated box set of Leslie Kong productions. Such a compilation is WAY overdue, and needed right now.

lucky for you (and all other reggae lobers) Harry Mudie HAS his own label, and i think about 90% of his catalogue is readilly available on all formats 7", 12",LP & CD
