check out "jah works", "stick a bush", "music makers from jamaica","bongo red".This is a very consistent group and have classic songs that everybody like.Peace!!

Most everyone, I suppose, will point you towards "Trenchtown Mix Up".

But I much prefer the earlier stuff.

In two weeks this will released by Heartbeat. Or rather re-released with a different cover.
[cover=5697,4283]

This is fantastic:
[cover=47,46]

playing over here in ireland next month, looking forward to that.

I'll be going to that gig myself Kemar, just doing some homework so i can go with overstanding. I should know more about them seen as most of favourite acts are vocal groups like the wailers, mighty diamonds, wailing souls & black uhuru.

"dreadlocks the time is now" from the "proverbial reggae" album is a favorite gladiators tune of mine.

i think jah works is their best tune - takes me back to the 'frontline' series - classic

all the gladiators from 76 to 84 are great !!

"Looks is deceiving", "Symbol of reality ",

and the classic tune "Bongo Red"

Everyone has already named my favorites but here's a new one:

I really like "Tribulation" from the 'Gladiators at Studio One: Bongo Red'

If I remember correctly, Clinton Fearon on lead and it was previously unreleased.
