I've been getting into Ranking Joe, and got his Natty Superstar album, as well as checking out some of his newer stuff on Youtube. Obviously I very much appreciated his contribution to Dub Side...

But yeah, does anyone have any recommendations as to what Ranking Joe stuff I should listen to next?

at his best live on soundsystem esp back in tha day, would recommend checkin out http://www.whocorkthedance.com/emperorfaith.html for recordings of him live on emperor faith that he was resident dj on in the 80s. Also check his 'world in trouble' album prod. by the man ryan moore of twilight circus fame, mad modern production inna vintage fashion.

Hi Man,

I like thew Armageddon Double LP (this one is still available), Disco Skate is great but impossible to find (as mp3 of course available). And not to forget Weakheart Fadeaway.

For me it all started with Weakheart Fadeaway. Heavyweight toasting over crisp Channel One tunes.

These 2 are for me his best work on an LP

The latter is pretty hard to find these days, but *Round the World* is available on an excellent extended reissue from Blood and Fire. Top drawer stuff (tu)

the 12" of Love Light by D. Brown has production credit to Ranking Joe with the man toasting on the flip

shank i sheck riddim selection on ranking joe label is tough it features big names like josey wales simple simon sugar & briggy, the mix is bassy & clear I like his way to mix but i dont like "ranking joe" as a label name, him should have name it different

All I have is Tribute To John Lennon which I like, I'd like to hear more of his tunes as well.

Round the World was a recent revelation for me. all the songs start good but then kick into a 2nd or 3rd gear, sometimes late into the song. really fantastic stuff

I need to check out his other albums

Saturday Night Jamdown Style - Greensleeves
