I've only heard a few songs by him but like what I've heard so does anyone have any specific recommendations?

    I like inspector general on imperial, the self titled on Trojan is good, I shall not remove on blood and fire is a good comp if your not looking for og's- those are all lp's, singles are really the way to go, if your looking for more than just an overview.

    Queen of the minstrals is reggae classic status.

    besides a newish comp that wasn't very good. I don't think there are any bad Cornell Campbell lp's. But the dude that said the 45's are the way to go was absolutely right. Some amazing stuff

    Brian,

    Get that Blood and Fire Comp--as dude mentioned, it's really nice and a great introduction.

    "Boxing" is one of my all-time favorite songs in any genre. It's so simple! And his "You're No Good" is haunting and beautiful. His falsetto just kills me.

    He's responsible for two of my favourite roots tracks

    Two Face Rasta
    &
    Bandulu ft Ranking Dread

    both on the Blood & Fire comp

    This is good info, cosign on Queen of The Minstral, I've got that one on Studio One 7" ESSENTIAL!
    I haven't heard anything bad from Cornell so cop anything you see, I know I do.

    "Rope In"
    "Jah Jah Me No Horn Yah" -- maybe in my reggae top 10
    "girl of my dreams"

    HUGE cosigns on You're No Good and Rope In.

    You should check for his first few LPs, namely the self-titled one and the two Greenwich Farm LPs.

    That 45 was re-issued a few years as part of the whole Trojan/lots of other labels reissues. Really nice clean LOUD pressing, too. Shouldn't be too hard to find.
