I HAVE 2 LACKSLEY CASTELL ALBUMS MORNING GLORY AND PRINCESS LADY DO ANYONE KNOW IF HE HAS MORE ALBUMS OUTSIDE THESE ONES
JAH BLESS

well, you probably know it, there is also Jah Fire with Hugh Mundell

he also gots some singles out there. i think he made a song with don carlos i think im not sure but thats just a rumor i heard i dont know if its true.

I got the "Jah Fire" Album from Hugh Mundell. On which Songs is Lacksley Castell singing on that album?

John public that is very good question because the style of singing is very similair.
I think it is mainly hugh mundell doing the lead vocals because in some songs you can hear ( if you listen closely ) them both ( you over there, my woman can )but princes lady, black sheep and millions miles are by l.castell.jah fire and king of isreal are by hugh mundell for a fact ( I have got it on 12 inch).regards to the main question there is a reggaediscography published in the early eighties in which they mention that there is an album by lacksley castell called "what a geat day " on sufferers heights. I dont know if that's true because I have never seen it Only on 12 inch and as far i am aware sufferers heights only released 12 inch ( the label did not last long ).

its funny because hugh mundell and lacksley castell sound the same because when i bought "jah fire" it seriously thought it was hugh mundell all along but when it said featuring augustus pablo and lacksley castell i was trying to find lacksley's voice and it indeed it was lacksley.

I can confirm that there never was an album on the Sufferers Heights label. I know that discography too which included the 12" by Lacksley Castell as an album but this label released only five 12"s and then shut down. Interesting is it was owned by the reggae-photographer Dave Hendley.

yeah that album does actually exist i have seen it it really does as a matter of fact i just got it from my friend and dont ask he dosnt want to tell me where he got it.

What???? Million Miles is by L. Castell. Wow it sounds definitly like Hugh Mundell.

Anyone who's heard either Morning Glory or Princess Lady should definitely recognize Lacksley's vocal style from Hugh's on Jah Fire.

Dread out.
