I am probably about 400 45's behind in my Sizzla collection.
Beautiful reggae, let's see. There's too many. I like Bob Andy's "I've Got To Go Back Home". Third World's "Rock The World" is nice too. Can't hurt to add a bit of John Holt in there.
lovejoys-all i can say bad brains-leaving babylon bob marley - confrontation (most of the album) cedric brooks-satta masa ganna heptones-mystery babylon
strutters, i come to this site for posts like these, and cause reggae has so much love, i'l share some tunes, so please provide me some good sheit in turn, "u send it" or whatever (if you can serve it up, better as usually the links die by the time i check them)
PLEASE KEEP THIS POST ALIVE, good reggae ressurects my soul.
here's some sheit that makes me bug out every summer (makes a helluva mix), enjoy
"soulful strut" (the name suits the message board yeah?)
"susan cadogan-hurts so good" (word up to the dude that mentioned susan ealier, she always reminded me of minnie ripperton for some reason the way she sings, anyone else think so?)
"lord kitchener-dr kitch" (mento styleee,possibly the best lyrics in a song ever, great for parties, was a mod favorite back in the day from what i understand)
Really good thread. I'm enjoying everyones selections.
I actually got this Cornell Campbell from one of Ross' mixes. I don't have a way to convert vinyl to the computer at the moment. I think it's slightly pitched up. If anyone has a better mp3...yousendit!

There's an entire soundfile for Dennis Brown's "Let Love In". Yeah, they might not be on comps, sorry.
K.
That Otis Gayle joint you posted - is that the same "I'll Be Around" that was (possibly) also recorded by Gregory Isaacs? I'm sure there's a song of that name by him on a Santic comp, "A Harder Shade Of Black", which came out in the UK in the mid-90's, but I've never been able to trace it. I think the comp may be deleted now as well. I figure if anyone on here will know, it'll be you, although any and all pointers will be much appreciated.

Don't know much about that comp. I do know that Gregory has a tune with that title, I'll Be Around", but it's his own composition and not a cover of the Spinners tune like the Gayle version above.

It's on Santic and Friends - An Even Harder Shade Of Black and I actually have seen it a few times here and there. If I see it again - I'll let you know. Does it have to be vinyl? It's a great comp and the Isaacs song is fantastic.
Those are his first 2 45's...issued on the BEverley's label. Judge Not has been reissued, original credits Robert Marley whereas the reissue credits Bob Marley. Got an extra original if anyone wants it.

Thanks for the heads-up, and to soufriere as well - I didn't know the Otis Gayle was a Spinners cover.
The Gayle was comped on the the Soul Jazz Studio 1 Soul compilation - best tune on there IMO. There's a wicked Johnnie OSbourne tune on Truth and Rights with same rhythm (which is why I keep doubles Gayle>version>Osbourne).

The version on that Elizabeth Archer is
Cornell Campbell & Ranking Dread "Bandulu/Hard Time"
Cornell Campbell "Two Face Rasta"
The Exiles "Fussing & Fighting"
Augustus Pablo "Cassava Piece"

Don't know much about that comp. I do know that Gregory has a tune with that title, I'll Be Around", but it's his own composition and not a cover of the Spinners tune like the Gayle version above.
