Hey all of you:) I was away for awhile and noticed that i sayd that I "almost ordered" 2 cds. That was a mistake, it should have said "also ordered" and I'm going to go to Hydepark and pick em up tomorrow. Cant wait

All these suggestions have been excellent so far, but here's what you really need to do...
Pick up a copy of "The Rough Guide To Reggae" by Steve Barrow and Peter Dalton. (It's a book, not an album.) It is basically a reggae buyer's guide with lots of really fantastic history and information about Jamaican Music. Here's a [link.](
http://www.amazon.com/Rough-Guide-Regga ... 358&sr=1-1)
And another crucial album which I don't remember being mentioned so far is Freddie McGreggor- "Bobby Bobylon."
Welcome to a new obsession!
