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

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

.........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
