| KING
TUBBY MEETS JACOB MILLER IN A TENEMENT YARD |
| Inner
Circle's lead singer also was known as a
solo singer, and King Tubby needs no
introduction either. The synthesizer so
dominantly present on most tunes doesn't
need an introduction either, but could turn
off some listeners. |

| AFRICAN
BROTHERS MEET KING TUBBY IN DUB |
| Obviously
taken from vinyl, here we have 12 B-sides
all mixed by the Godfather of DUB in a way
that we are used to: skillful, with an ear
for detail and a thundering bass. |

| DELROY
WILSON - WHAT'S GOING ON |

Music can be played in just about any style.
Take this album. With two Marvin Gaye
covers, here we have some very soulful music
but unmistakably Reggae Music. |

| DENNIS
BROWN - MONEY IN MY POCKET |
| Titled
after one of the biggest hits from the Crown
Prince Of Reggae, we're being treated to
some of the crucial 1970's Rockers Reggae
that he sung over. |

| DENNIS
BROWN - LOVERS PARADISE |
| Bob
Marley's favorite singer always had the
ability to sing lovers' as well as conscious
tracks and he did so over a number of
decades. This album presents some of that
material and forms a nice panorama on his
oeuvre. |

| GREGORY
ISAACS - SLAVE MASTER |
| The
title track for this album has been featured
in the legendary movie "Rockers".
But the rest of the album is equally great:
The Cool Ruler showing his Roots. |

Dread - lots of loving |
| Early
Dancehall or Rub a Dub style was particularly
nice when DJ's were chanting on top of it.
Ranking Dread's album Lots of Loving fits
the category very well, thank you. |

 |
| SLY
AND ROBBIE DUB |
| Actually,
the title of this album was "Dub
Rockers Delight" when it was originally
released, and contains some very nice Rub a
Dub style tracks in an easy style of Dub
mixing. |
