One album (their second one) is called "The Light of Saba" and is on Total Sounds.

Another one (their third) is called "The Light of Saba in Reggae", which is also on Total Sounds.

As jahnnyroots didn't name the third, I assumed he was talking about the second.

[jahnnyroots]

Going by the sound samples alone - I'm not sure I'd pay two dollars for that album.

Some of the tracks sound way too poppy for my tastes, the others sound rather boring or overproduced. Overall, it just doesn't do too much for me.

Sometimes I think certain lps reach a certain status without really being that great musically.

From my point of view the first two light of saba LPs (light of saba / light of saba in reggae) are amoung the best and heaviest stuff ever to come from Jamaica! For these guys only the sky is the limit! Their musi goes far beyond the normal reggae limits as they added a lot of free-jazz in it. I also paid big money to have them - but I am very happy! Though 450 (UK Punds, USD, Euros?)sounds very high...
