Reggae soul recommendations

I was perusing some of the excellent items in <a href=http://www.soulstrut.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=1407877&an=0&page=0#Post1407877>Roneazy's sales</a> and was reminded how vastly ignorant I am about 99% of reggae/dub/rocksteady, etc. I've gotten into Alton Ellis for the past year but barely known much else beyond him. But I know enough to know I want to learn more. I'm now listening to Carlton and the Shoes' "Love Me Forever" and it's killing me right now. I also started listening to the Heptones' "On Top" and that's awesome too. So for anyone who'd like to be a human Pandora...I'd love suggestions for other stuff just like that - soulful riddims, vocal harmonies, etc. Danke.

    Prof. Bolone might be old enough to listen to Beres Hammond now. You won't find much more soulful than that.

    All of these albums are good for that Studio One soul sound and shouldn't be too tough to get:

    Delroy Wilson- Feel Good All Over
    Bob Andy-Song Book
    Clarendonians- Best of
    Freddie Mckay- Picture on the Wall
    Horace Andy- Skylarking
    Larry Marshall- Presents Larry Marshall
    John Holt- A Love I Can Feel

    If you ask me 80's era yellow and red NY pressings are awesome and worth your time and money

    ^What I'm talmbout.

    And thanks for the Beres Hammond rec. I'm previewing "Soul Reggae" by him now. Seemed as good a place to start as any.

    Check out Can't Stop a Man: The Ultimate Collection: Beres Hammond. Yes, there a few super-soft joints on it, but it has so many classics, including "Sweetness," which is over the same riddim as "My Conversation."

    There's also "Can't Stop A Man" over the same riddim as "Uptown Top Ranking" and "Last War," which was the sample for Collie Buddz "Come Around." You know, if you're into samples and things of that nature.
