Please recommend your favorite U Roy tracks

I still need to explore his music more but I really like Herbman Skanking, Chalice in the Palace, & Love I Bring

"Evil Doers"

"Never Get Away" with Delroy Wilson - classic early reggae - the dj interacting with the vocal inna sound-system style. (Too bad U Roy's voice is less prominent in all the CD mixes of this track.)

"Dynamic Fashion Way" - completely addictive riddim/instrumental.

"Full Time" - the title says it all...recorded in the middle of the night (if the liner notes are accurate?).
