pickled bamboo, thanks to zhao, in case he feels bad for having downloaded albums that don't exist.

Jeez, that's a tall order.

I have and would broadly endorse:

Wailing Souls - Fire House Rock [1981]
Michael Prophet - Gunman + Righteous Are the Conqueror [1982-83]
John Holt - Police In Helicopter [1982]
Cultural Roots - Hell A Go Pop [1984]
and any Barrington Levy.

also woth checking judging by the tunes I have heard on them:
Frankie Paul - Pass The Tu Sheng Peng [1984]
Johnny Osbourne - Fally Lover


But but but, the usual disclaimers about albums apply. For example John Holt's album has the classic title track but also some rubbish about looking at girls wearing bikinis on the beach (which I could just about tolerate if the performance was any good, but it isn't)

Yeah Mudell has a great voice. Apols should have been clearer I meant Lawes productions. There something unique production wise on the Mundell set. I cant hear the same thing on any of other productions Ive heard.

I love this tune on the lp:

add to John's list:

Rod Taylor "Where is Your Love Mankind"



The best Mundell song is "One Jah, One Aim, One Destiny", which would be in my personal all time top 10.

Yes Matt. Going Places is heavy. Really striped back track.

From the same Mundell set. So sweet.

"Private Doctor" kills it though. But seriously I've never understood how arguably the most militant roots track ever was made by John Holt of all people.

Co-sign. Also Wolves & Leopards. Is any of his 80s/90s material worth picking up? I suspect the answer is no but it never hurts to ask.
