RIP Toots Hibbert
FUCK!!! This hurts!!! I really don't get upset at old musicians dying but legit emotional here. I play his music every evening when I bathe my baby, it's his bedtime music. Fuck, I just wanted him to live forever. He toured like hundreds of dates a year for like 60 years. He invented the word "REGGAE" ffs. I believe in JA for some years Toots and the Maytals were bigger than Bob.
the only guy I've ever seen who rivals James Brown live

RIP Toots!
I had no idea those compilations go for that amount. They were 4.99 for ages, I remember.
But I can relate to passing on Toots records as the big hits were all included in so many staple Reggae compilations anyway that I rather spent my teenage money on the latest dancehall...
^^ yeah they go for a good amount here on the East Coast of Canada, but that depends on where you find them...i bought about 15 of those albums from a Radio Station (Q104) that was selling off their records, i paid $1 for all of the ones i got that day, i bought 2 more "Reggae Greats" albums from a record fair last year and they were about $15 each. Taz Records (one of the the local record joints) had the Toots copy for $20, they usually dont mess with prices "whats listed is whats listed" basically, but i even tried to get $5 off just on the strength of "them seeing me there frequently" but dude didnt budge...
